Aquarium Accessories Ceramic Filter Rings And Filter Balls

Ceramic filter ring description:

Ceramic filter media sometimes referred to as bio rings, ceramic rings are unglazed pieces of fired ceramic. Most commonly, they resemble small 

white beads. However, they can also be found in other colors like cream, gray or brown.

Ceramic rings are designed to have an outer part that has lots of small holes, or pores, and a central hole that goes through the entire thing. This 

way, water not only runs over the ceramic rings but through them as well.

 

Ceramic filter ring working theory:

In nitrogen cycle, bacteria removes ammonia and nitrites (harmful chemicals) from the aquarium tank. These chemicals naturally build up inside the 

aquarium and if the bacteria can`t be removed out, then fishes will eventually die. So actually these ceramic rings offer the perfect home for the beneficial 

bacteria in aquarium. Ceramic rings increase their surface area through tiny little pores.

While ceramic rings do not filter your water directly, it`s the beneficial bacteria that live in these rings that do the filtering and properly cycling the tank will 

encourage beneficial bacteria to grow on the ceramic rings.

 

What is denitrifying bacteria?

These bacteria eat nitrates and will only survive where there is no oxygen present. Denitrifying bacteria live deep inside rock, ceramic and other porous 

materials, where oxygen cannot reach them. While they can`t be find in plastic or foam filter media. 

Ceramic filter ring features:

--Suitable for both freshwater and saltwater filters

--Aids in the breakdown and removal of harmful ammonia and nitrite

--Made of long lasting, highly porous ceramic material

--Improved shape increases internal and external surface area for beneficial bacteria to thrive

--Biological filtration media that promotes beneficial bacteria growth

How to use ceramice filter rings?

--put ceramic rings in a bag and wash them before throwing them into aquarium

--put ceramic rings sit after the mechanical filtration

--keep the ceramic rings be submerged underwater at all times, as bacteria that live on the rings cannot survive out of water.

--the quantity of ceramic rings can be as many as they can fit in the aquarium filter.

--Unless your ceramic rings have worn down or are breaking into pieces, there really isn`t any need to replace them on a regular basis.
