Frequently Asked Questions
What do bacteria balls do in a filter?
They help improve water quality by facilitating the oxidation of ammonia and nitrite. Their surface also encourages nitrifying bacteria to grow.
Why is the porous surface important?
The coarse, porous surface lets water flow through easily. It also gives nitrifying bacteria a good surface to grow on.
What is the role of the negative ions?
The bio-balls release negative ions, which speed up the oxidation effect on ammonia and nitrite. This helps improve water quality and purify the water.
Can I use them in a saltwater tank?
Yes. They are suitable for marine and freshwater systems.
Are they suitable for outdoor systems?
