Does not affect the noise of the filter and is effective ammonia management. I use this for our turtle tank so I need to change more often and while they are easy to install, I do wish they came with a replacement bag and fastener. This product keeps the water clarity and appearance high.

Not much to say . Fluval products are always good in my opinion.
Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2012
This is really an amazing value. Ceramic filter media like anything else in life vary in quality a great deal. Fluval Biomax is incredibly porous because it's not tumbled and polished. It's the rough texture and millions of tiny crevices that attract nitrifying bacteria like a magnet and encourage rapid growth.

Because these are so textured and allow for full water flow through colonization is very fast and you'll see the results of this product in fewer ammonia spikes as well as more stabilized water parameters. At this price they're beyond a great deal, plus this item is Prime eligible so add free shipping to boot.

My suggestion is to order more than you think you'll need - remember to rinse them in aquarium water not tap water. The same applies to filter maintenance always rinse any filter media in water taken from the tank the filter serves. This protects all the healthy bacteria while getting rid of the gunk. Using tap water will kill your colonization on contact.

Although Fluval states to replace these every six months, I can assure you after 40 years of keeping fish this only to sell more product. In fact ceramic media will last almost indefinitely so there's rarely a reason to replace them. They're also great for seeding a new aquarium filter and shortening the cycle period.

Next to the eheim splintered glass spheres this is one best media you can use - a great product at an incredibly deep discount.

These bio rings are great and will last you a long time. I have had these in usage for 3 years and they have stayed in good shape. I take the bag they are in to rinse maybe once every 2-3 months. These are a great way to keep the tank clean and healthy as a biological filter. An easy recommendation from me 🐠
