Key Features
  • 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

"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!
