Aquascape 56014 Bioballs Biological Filter Media 1000 Ct

Product Description

The AQUASCAPE 56014 BioBalls are a biological filter media designed to support beneficial bacterial colonization in aquatic filtration systems. Each ball provides a high-surface-area substrate where nitrifying bacteria establish and process ammonia and nitrites, helping maintain healthy water chemistry. This media is commonly installed in pond filters, waterfall filters, and skimmer filter boxes by pond service professionals and experienced water feature installers. The 1,000-count package provides enough media to populate a substantial filter chamber in a single application.

BioBalls are suited for use in residential and light commercial pond and water feature installations. They work in wet-dry (trickle) filter configurations as well as fully submerged biological chambers. Typical applications include koi ponds, water gardens, and decorative fountain systems where stable biological filtration is critical to fish health and water clarity. The 1,000-count quantity is practical for initial filter builds or media refreshes on larger installations.

Key Features

• High-surface-area design promotes dense beneficial bacteria colonization
• Compatible with wet-dry trickle filter and submerged filter chamber configurations

Compatibility

Designed as a biological filter media for use in pond filters, waterfall filters, skimmer boxes, and wet-dry filter systems commonly found in residential and light commercial water feature applications.

Installation Notes

Biological filter media is typically installed by pond service professionals or water feature technicians. Before servicing or opening a filter chamber, shut down the pump to prevent media displacement. Rinse new BioBalls with pond water rather than chlorinated tap water to avoid killing beneficial bacteria during seeding. Allow several weeks of operation for the bacterial colony to fully establish before assessing water quality results.
