I went to the local marine shop this weekend and.
Ceramic noodles in reef tank.
You can use more than one type of media in your filter.
Bio balls only carry nitrifying bacteria.
I have a 250 litre tank with 50l sump.
Bacteria are necessary in the filtration process and the ceramic noodles act as a mechanical biological filter.
Ceramic noodles are highly porous and provide the ideal environment for beneficial bacteria to grow on.
These noodles provide a housing material for bacteria which form the major part of the biological filtration in your fish tank.
I can t see where it makes much difference which is in there as long as there is something for the bacteria to grow on.
Description aqua one bionood ceramic noodles are a biological filter media for use in aquarium filtration systems.
Bioballs vs ceramic noodles my fish store has been encouraging me to replace the bioballs with ceramic noodles.
Bio balls and ceramic noodles vs live rock hi everyone im new to the reef tank and marine tanks in general.
Ceramic holds tons of bacteria.
Denitrifying bacteria live inside rock ceramic and other porous materials where no air is present.
