Product Description
Aquatic Experts 1.5" Large Bio Balls for Ponds – Biological Filter Media for Waterfalls & Outdoor Pond Filters, Treats Up to 1,000 Gallons (300 Count + 14" x 20" Mesh Bag)
- Large 1.5" Bio Balls for Ponds & Waterfalls: Oversized 1.5" balls designed for pond filters, waterfalls, and high flow outdoor systems. Each ball provides nearly 2 sq. ft. of surface area for beneficial bacteria to break down waste.
- Treats Up to 1,000 Gallons: A 300 count pack treats up to 1,000 gallons of pond water. Use 30 bio balls per 100 gallons (or 300 per 1,000 gallons) so you can buy the correct amount for your pond size.
- High Flow, Low Maintenance Design: Open spine structure lets debris pass through instead of clogging. Unlike lava rock, these bio balls maintain performance and rarely need cleaning.
- Durable, Long Lasting, and Safe: Made from 100% polypropylene that won’t degrade. Ideal for koi ponds, freshwater ponds, aquaponics, and large aquarium sumps. Use loose or in the included 14" x 20" mesh bag.
- Sponge Free Core for Cleaner Water: No sponge center to trap gunk. Solid core design keeps water flowing freely for cleaner, healthier ponds. Proudly Made in the USA.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - Aquatic Experts Bio Balls with Mesh Bag
QUESTION: How easy is it to clean the bio balls?
ANSWER: Typically you do not need to clean bio balls since most filters use a prefilter pad to remove most of the debris before water flows to the bio balls. In an
outside pond, bio balls may require cleaning. In this case it is best to take a bucket of water from your pond, and swish the balls around in this water to preserve
the good bacteria attached to the surface of the bio balls.
QUESTION: How long should the bio balls last?
ANSWER: Our Bio balls are made from high density plastic so they should never degrade or wear out.
QUESTION: I have a 1,000 gallon water garden pond. How many bio balls do I need?
ANSWER: Typically, our 300 pack of bio balls will handle the bio-load of a typical stocked 1,000 gallon pond. With this said there are variables which effect how heavy a bio-load
is in a pond including: how many fish, their size, how often they are fed, and so on. The only way to know if you have enough bio balls is to test your water for
ammonia or nitrites. If you detect ammonia or nitrite levels in your pond water (not caused from overfeeding or a dead fish) add more bio balls.
QUESTION: Does your mesh bag have a metal or plastic zipper?
ANSWER: Our mesh bag has a fish-safe plastic zipper.
