Bio Balls 56mm – Premium Biological Filter Media

Bio Balls (56mm) are high-quality biological filter media designed to maximize the growth of beneficial bacteria in your aquarium. With their lightweight, hollow structure and large surface area, they provide excellent biological filtration while maintaining strong water flow. Perfect for canister filters, sump tanks, overhead filters, and DIY filtration systems.

🌊 Key Features

✅ Large Surface Area – Each bio ball is designed with a unique open-grid structure that provides maximum space for nitrifying bacteria to colonize.

✅ Improves Water Quality – Beneficial bacteria help break down harmful ammonia and nitrite into safer nitrate, ensuring a stable and healthy environment.

✅ Durable & Long-Lasting – Made from high-quality, non-toxic plastic that never breaks down in water. Can be reused for years.

✅ Lightweight & Easy to Use – Hollow design ensures good water circulation and low resistance in filtration systems.

✅ Versatile Application – Suitable for freshwater, planted, marine, and reef aquariums.

✅ Low Maintenance – Requires only occasional rinsing in tank water to remove debris without harming beneficial bacteria.

  • Filtration Systems: Canister filters, sump filters, overhead filters, wet/dry trickle filters, and DIY filter chambers.
