ANS Power Ball 48mm Bio Media in Bulk for Singapore Filters

Sold loose by the bulk lot, these 48mm hollow bio balls give beneficial bacteria a huge, well-oxygenated surface to colonise. The open, ribbed structure is designed for trickle and wet-dry filters, where water cascades over the media and gas exchange keeps the nitrifying colony active. They are pH-neutral, so they will not nudge your parameters, and they suit both freshwater planted tanks and marine sumps.

Bio balls earn their place in higher-flow, well-aerated stages rather than buried in a slow canister. In our consistently warm 27-29C climate, bacterial metabolism runs fast, which is good for processing waste but means you must keep the colony fed and oxygenated; a stalled trickle tower can lose capacity within days. Seed them from an established filter to speed cycling, and rinse only in tank water so you never wipe out the bacteria you spent weeks growing.
