Description
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
Product Name: Bio Balls (32mm)
Type: Biological filtration media
Size per ball: ~32mm diameter
Material: Non-toxic, durable plastic
Lifespan: Long-term (does not degrade in water)
Filtration Role: Boosts biological filtration capacity
Usage: Fill filter chambers, canister baskets, sump compartments, or trickle towers
🧱 How to Use (Recommended Setup)
Place bio balls inside a filter bag or media basket.
Position after mechanical filtration (sponges/wool) so only clean water reaches them.
Combine with ceramic rings, bio sponge, or lava rock for maximum filtration.
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.
