Fluval Biomax Ceramic Rings

Ceramic rings also known as bio rings are unglazed little pieces of fired ceramic.

Fluval biomax ceramic rings.

Fluval biomax bio rings have a complex pore system creating an optimal environment where beneficial bacteria can thrive. Fluval biomax bio rings biological filter media for aquariums 17 63 oz a1456 11 99. Fluval biomax rings have a complex porous design that ensures optimal contact time as water passes by for efficient biological filtration and beneficial bacteria growth. Fluval biomax ceramic rings 500g 17 63 oz biomax filter media are inert ceramic rings that are capable of supporting large populations of water purifying bacteria.

Composed of a variety of channels and tunnels the multitude of tiny pores can support these colonies of beneficial bacteria. The micropores have a mild tendency to clog but can easily be clean and replaced. I currently have fluval biomax in my 75 and 90 and they are working fine but i m about to set up a 125 and wondered how many grams or liters of ceramic rings i need for that size tank. They look quite like white beads and you can also get them in colors like brown gray or cream.

The ring shape allows for water to flow through the biofilter media. I ve not been able to find volume of water handled by ceramic rings. Their internal porous system like the seachem matrix biomedia see below help more bacteria to grow than smooth biofilter media do. The biomax media inserts have more capacity than most biological filter media and allow ideal water movement throughout the media to ensure optimal contact time for efficient biological filtration.

With more capacity than most biological filter media biomax helps reduce ammonia and nitrite. Fluval claims that their c nodes are better than ceramic rings and i have some in my c 3 filter but my 80 gallon has a fluval 407 with ceramic rings activated carbon ammonia remover water polishing pad and recently i swapped out my topfin 40 for the c 3 in my 40 gallon tank only has a gap in the lid made for 1 filter and i had nowhere to. For freshwater and marine aquariums. Fluval biomax bio rings are the best example on the market.

Provides superior biological filtration. For use with fluval canister filters. Fluval s biomax filter media consists of porous ceramic rings that are designed to optimize surface area and support growing bacteria populations. While fluval recommends these filters be replaced every six months they tend to last considerably longer.
