Bio Balls 32mm – Premium Biological Filter Media

Bio Balls (32mm) are high-quality biological filter media designed to maximize surface area for beneficial bacteria growth. They play a vital role in the nitrogen cycle, breaking down harmful ammonia and nitrites into safer nitrates, ensuring a stable and healthy aquarium environment.

🌊 Key Features

✅ Large surface area – Each bio ball has a porous, ribbed design that encourages beneficial bacteria colonization.

✅ Durable & reusable – Made from high-quality, non-toxic plastic that lasts for years without breaking down.

✅ Improves biological filtration – Works in canister filters, sump filters, overhead filters, and trickle systems.

✅ Promotes oxygen exchange – Hollow design allows better water and air flow for stronger bacterial activity.

✅ Easy to clean – Simply rinse in aquarium water (not tap water) to remove debris without harming bacteria.

✅ Versatile use – Suitable for freshwater, planted tanks, shrimp tanks, and marine aquariums.

🐠 Suitable For

• Tank Size: Any size – can be added in small or large quantities depending on filter capacity.

• Best For: Community fish tanks, planted tanks, cichlid tanks, shrimp & snail tanks, marine & reef setups.

⚠️ Not suitable as a standalone filter – must be used inside a filter chamber or sump with proper water flow.

⚙️ Specifications

• Usage: Fill filter chambers, canister baskets, sump compartments, or trickle towers

🧱 How to Use (Recommended Setup)

1. Place bio balls inside a filter bag or media basket.

2. Position after mechanical filtration (sponges/wool) so only clean water reaches them.

3. Combine with ceramic rings, bio sponge, or lava rock for maximum filtration.

4. For marine or sump setups, use in trickle sections for best oxygen exchange.

🔧 Installation Tips

• Use mechanical filter media first (sponges/wool) → then bio balls → then chemical media (carbon, resins).

• Never wash bio balls with tap water; only rinse in aquarium water to protect beneficial bacteria.

• Can be mixed with other biological media for balanced performance.

🧼 Maintenance

• Rinse lightly in tank water every 4–6 weeks to remove trapped debris.

• Never replace all bio balls at once – this can harm bacterial colonies.

• Bio balls can last 5+ years with proper care.

✅ Why Choose 32mm Bio Balls?

Bio Balls are a must-have biological filter media for any serious aquarist. They provide stable and long-lasting bacterial colonies, improve water clarity, and ensure a healthier environment for fish and plants. Unlike sponges or chemical media, they never need frequent replacement, making them a cost-effective and reliable choice.

👉 Best for aquarium hobbyists who want strong, stable, and efficient biological filtration in freshwater or saltwater tanks.
