BOYU RING CR-500

Aquarium ceramic rings are a type of filter media commonly used in aquarium filtration systems, particularly in biological filtration. They are often found in canister filters, sump tanks, or as part of other filter setups. These rings serve as a habitat for beneficial bacteria, which play a crucial role in the nitrogen cycle of the aquarium. Here’s how aquarium ceramic rings work and their benefits:

1. Establishing a New Aquarium:
   When setting up a new aquarium, it’s important to establish a healthy biological filtration system before adding fish. Ceramic rings can be added to the filter to provide a substrate for beneficial bacteria to colonize. This helps kickstart the nitrogen cycle and ensures a safe and stable environment for your fish.
2. Increasing Biological Filtration:
   If you notice high ammonia or nitrite levels in your aquarium, adding ceramic rings can increase the capacity of your biological filtration. This is especially useful when your existing filter media may not be sufficient to handle the bioload.
3. Upgrading Filtration:
   When upgrading your aquarium’s filtration system, ceramic rings can be a valuable addition. They can be used alongside other filter media, such as mechanical or chemical filtration, to enhance the overall filtration efficiency.
4. Maintaining Water Quality:
   If you have a heavily stocked aquarium or you frequently feed your fish, you may experience fluctuations in water quality. Ceramic rings can help maintain stable water parameters by providing additional biological filtration capacity.
