Our take on the biorb Ceramic Media

This is the ceramic filter media that forms the core of filtration in biOrb aquariums. The porous ceramic gives beneficial bacteria a huge surface to colonize — biOrb says 900g offers surface area equal to a football pitch — and those bacteria break down toxic fish waste as water passes through. It suits biOrb owners doing routine filter refreshes or adding filtration capacity. Compared with loose biological media like ceramic rings or bio-balls, it is shaped for biOrb's filter cartridge and does not fit other filter systems as neatly.

About the biorb Ceramic Media

biOrb ceramic media is the main part of the filtration in a biOrb aquarium. It helps keep the water clear and healthy. Water flows through the media, where beneficial bacteria remove toxic fish waste.

The media is full of pores for bacteria to live on. Just 900g of it has a surface area equivalent to a football pitch. More media can be added to a biOrb to increase the area for filtration.

Over time, the pores can become blocked with dirt and limescale, which reduces the available surface area. Replacing some of the media every year or so helps keep filtration efficient. Never replace more than 1/3 of the media at one time, and wait at least a month before replacing any more.

Questions and answers

How much ceramic media should I replace at once?
Never replace more than one third of the media at a time. Wait at least a month before replacing more.
How often should I replace it?
biOrb suggests replacing some media roughly every year or so, once pores clog with dirt and limescale.
Can I add extra media to my biOrb?
Yes. Adding more media increases the surface area available for beneficial bacteria and filtration.
Does it fit non-biOrb filters?
It is shaped for biOrb filter cartridges. Other filter systems usually take loose ceramic rings or bio-media instead.
Why does replacing too much media matter?
The bacteria living in the media process toxic fish waste. Removing too much at once removes that bacteria and can upset water quality.
Where is the biorb Ceramic Media cheapest?
At Amazon, for $17.30, as of our latest check.
What do buyers say about the biorb Ceramic Media?
Rated 4.6 out of 5 from 11 ratings.
