In the realm of aquarium filtration, bio balls, also known as bio-media, play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy ecosystem for aquatic life. These spherical or cylindrical porous structures provide an ideal surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonize, facilitating the breakdown of harmful organic matter and the establishment of a thriving biological filter. Immersed in the water column or placed within a designated filter chamber, bio balls serve as a haven for nitrifying bacteria, converting toxic ammonia and nitrite into less harmful nitrates. Their contribution to the nitrogen cycle ensures a cleaner and safer environment for fish and other aquatic creatures.
