Ceramic Noodles In Marine Tank

Anything that can take in water will deteriorate over time.

Ceramic noodles in marine tank.

Please let me know what you think. The only reason i would replace it is to switch over to seachem matrix. Thank you for this article if running a saltwater fish only tank and copper will be used most of the time in the sump would you still recommend choosing the ceramic noodles over the bio balls. Would the copper kill the bacteria on the ceramic noodles that removes the nitrates from the water.

The sealent will be toxic to the fish. These noodles provide a housing material for bacteria which form the major part of the biological filtration in your fish tank. I still have some old fluval stuff from about twelve years ago that is still fine. While some ceramic rings come with their own filter media bag others come loose.

Aqua one bionood ceramic noodles are a biological filter media for use in aquarium filtration systems. Bioballs are designed to be used in trickle filters. If your filter didn t come with any ceramic rings or you want to purchase more grab some here or from your local fish store they are very affordable. The biggest issue here is the use of the biomedia.

The coating that is applied has to be baked in order for it to be aquarium safe unless it is specially manufactured for tank use. Terracotta is made with the same principal as ceramic. Ceramic noodles and other biomedia shouldn t break down. This tub comes with a pullstring bag to be used for keeping noodles together inside your filter.

Many filter kits already include ceramic rings in the box. Water from aquarium is pushed into the sump where it removes waste using mechanical filtration media toxic components are removed in biological chamber hence clean water flows back to the aquarium using gravity if it is an overhead sump filter.
