Pond bio media plays a vital role in maintaining water quality by providing a home for beneficial bacteria crucial to the pond's ecosystem. These bacteria perform biological filtration, converting harmful ammonia and nitrites into less toxic nitrates, which are then utilized by aquatic plants or removed during water changes. Bio media typically consists of porous materials like ceramic rings, bio balls, or lava rocks that offer a large surface area for bacterial colonization. As water flows through the filter, the bacteria on the bio media break down organic waste, helping to keep the pond water clear and safe for fish and other aquatic life. Regular cleaning and maintenance of
pond biological filter media ensure its effectiveness in supporting a healthy and balanced pond environment over time.
