Description


  • OUTSTANDING FILTRATION! Each bio ball is covered in spines to dramatically increase the surface area of each ball providing space for a massive number of beneficial bacteria to colonize. These good bacteria break down harmful organic waste. 

  • SUPERIOR BIO MEDIA: A huge problem with other bio balls is that they have a sponge in their centers to increase surface area, but sponge pores trap gunk that does not wash away. This trapped gunk reduces water quality. This problem is solved with our bio balls! How? They have a small solid center covered in spines that won’t trap gunk. You never have to suffer from poor water quality.

  • TOUGH AND UNIQUE! Our bio balls’ spherical shape and precise spine placement permit them to pack tightly into any shape or filter type without losing surface area. Molded from high-density plastic, these balls are lightweight but tough enough to keep their shape and will never degrade or wear out. Bio balls can be used loosely or in a mesh bag with a plastic zipper.

  • TRUSTED! Our Bio balls are 100% polypropylene making them reliable biological filtration media for fresh and saltwater. They are manufactured for use in koi ponds, freshwater fish tanks, saltwater aquariums, aquaponics, fish hatcheries, and much more. These 1” bio balls are perfect for the limited space of an aquarium sump.

  • EASY TO CLEAN - If organic waste builds up in the bio balls, they can be gently rinsed in dechlorinated water to remove debris and refresh the bio balls. Use our FilterFirst, dual-density bonded filter pad, or water polishing pad to capture large particles to help keep your bio balls clean of debris.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I need to clean the Bio Balls?

    Bio Balls require little maintenance. Always place Bio Balls  after the filter media in your system. If you use them in an outside pond, they may need to be rinsed off periodically.

  • How do I clean the Bio Balls?

    It is best to take a bucket of water from your aquarium and swish the Bio Balls around in your aquarium water to preserve the good bacteria attached to the surface of the Bio Balls.

  • Why are Bio Balls better than Lava Rock?

    Overtime, the porous Lava rocks' holes will get clogged and the rough surface makes it difficult to clean which reduces beneficial bacteria surface area. Whereas Bio Balls have large, smooth surface which is easy to clean.

  • Will Bio Balls keep the aquarium clean of algae?

    Bio Balls are used in an aquarium sump for beneficial bacteria to grow. Bio Balls will NOT control algae.

  • What are Bio Balls made of?

    Our Bio Balls are made of 100% polypropylene making them a safe reliable bio filter media for aquariums and ponds.

  • If I have a 10-gallon aquarium tank, how many 1" bio balls do I need?

    Our 3000 count box of 1 inch bio balls will fill approximately 10.3 gallons.
