- ENHANCED BIOLOGICAL FILTRATION — biOrb Ceramic Media surrounds the filter at the bottom of the aquarium and is the key biological aspect of the filtration system. It is a man-made material that will not alter the water pH.
- LARGE SURFACE AREA FOR GOOD BACTERIA GROWTH — biOrb Ceramic Media is full of pores for bacteria to live in; just 2 lbs. (900 g) of media has the surface area equivalent to a soccer field.
- HONEYCOMB STRUCTURE — Each piece of media has honeycomb structure with a size between 5 mm and 15 mm, which provides an ideal environment for beneficial bacteria to thrive. These bacteria play a vital role in neutralizing harmful substances produced by fish such as ammonia and nitrates.
- PERFECT FOR ANY AQUARIUM — biOrb Ceramic Media is suitable for all aquariums, whether they are freshwater or saltwater setups.
- SUITABLE FOR ALL biOrb AQUARIUMS — This Ceramic media is suitable for all biOrb aquariums. The number of 1 lb. bags required to fill an aquarium depends on the aquarium size. Adding additional media will increase the surface area available for bacteria colonization, enhancing biological filtration.

"It has a lot of small rocks and it's dirty. I keep on rinsing them but it seems like it's never ending. I'm going to use them because it's a hassle to return them but I wouldn't buy them again. I'm returning the biorb fish tank. I'm not happy with this product at all"

Q&A
- Hi, is your ceramic media suitable for a Betta fish? Thanks!
- Hello Candice. Bettas will be fine with the standard ceramic media, but if you have any concerns, we also make a biOrb Pearl Media. It has a smooth surface and circular shape that makes it particularly suitable for aquariums that house bottom-feeding inhabitants. https://us.biorb.com/collections/aquarium-accessories-spare-parts/products/84782 We hope this helps!
- Hi, can I use 2 pounds of your ceramic media in my Halo 30L? Or is that too much substrate? Thanks so much! :)
- Hello Candice. The recommended amount for a HALO 30L is 2 bags. (2lbs). Please refer to the 7th image above regarding what amount is suitable for each aquarium. We hope this helps!
- Does the ceramic media and the pearl media serve the same purpose? Meaning can you use one or the other?
- Hello Wendy. Yes, both the Ceramic and Pearl media provide biological filtration. The Ceramic Media has a honeycomb surface structure. The biOrb Pearl Media has a smooth surface and circular shape that makes it particularly suitable for aquariums that house bottom-feeding inhabitants. Its design allows for efficient filtration while providing a comfortable habitat for these types of fish. Only replace one third of your media at a time in an active aquarium with inhabitants to not disrupt the beneficial bacteria. rehttps://us.biorb.com/collections/aquarium-accessories-spare-parts/products/84782 We hope this helps!
