This is where bio balls come in. Aquariums and ponds need beneficial bacteria to grow and balance out any harmful debris in the water. Bio balls are designed in a very specific way to increase the surface area that good bacteria can cling to. The large surface area of the bio balls is down the ridges and crevices that you can see all over them. This gives good bacteria more places to settle; if there is more space for this good bacteria to grow, there will be better biological filtration.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:11pt\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color:#ffffff\"\u003eYou will need to choose your mechanical \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.finest-filters.co.uk\/aquarium-filters\/\" style=\"text-decoration:none\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:11pt\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#1155cc\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color:#ffffff\"\u003e\u003cu\u003efilter media \u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:11pt\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color:#ffffff\"\u003efirst, to ensure that superficial waste is removed effectively.
