Aqua Clay 8mm Balls – Premium Biological Filter Media

Aqua Clay 8mm Balls are high-quality porous ceramic media designed to provide excellent biological filtration for aquariums. With a large surface area, they encourage the growth of beneficial bacteria that break down harmful ammonia and nitrites, ensuring a healthy and stable aquatic environment.

🌊 Key Features

✅ High surface area – Porous structure provides maximum space for beneficial bacteria to colonize.

✅ Stable water parameters – Supports the nitrogen cycle by converting harmful ammonia and nitrites into less toxic nitrates.

✅ Durable & long-lasting – Unlike sponges or carbon, clay bio balls don’t need frequent replacement and can last for years.

✅ Chemical-free & safe – 100% natural clay material, pH neutral, and safe for freshwater & marine aquariums.

✅ Versatile use – Can be used in canister filters, HOB filters, sumps, overhead filters, and internal filter chambers.

✅ Improves water clarity & health – Creates a balanced ecosystem by supporting biological filtration.

🐠 Suitable For

  • Tank Size: All aquarium sizes (nano to large).

  • Fish Types: Freshwater, marine fish, shrimp, snails, discus, planted tanks.

  • Especially useful for heavily stocked tanks or aquariums with sensitive fish (like Discus or Shrimp).

⚠️ Not a mechanical filter – should be used together with sponges, filter wool, or other mechanical media for best results.
