## Summary description

AquaNatura Far Infrared Bacteria Ball filtration media in pink, consisting of spherical 18×20 mm beads supplied in a 20 kg package. Designed for biological filtration in aquariums and pond systems, the media provides high surface area for beneficial bacteria colonization and supports biological waste breakdown. Suitable for canister filters, filter chambers, and biofilters to improve water quality and reduce ammonia and nitrite levels.

## Long description

AquaNatura Far Infrared Bacteria Ball filtration media in pink are spherical ceramic-like beads sized 18×20 mm supplied in a 20 kg package. Specifically developed for biological filtration in aquariums and outdoor pond systems, these beads provide an extensive high-surface-area matrix that promotes colonization by beneficial nitrifying and heterotrophic bacteria. The media supports the biological breakdown of ammonia and nitrite, contributing to more stable water chemistry and improved clarity when used in canister filters, filter chambers, or dedicated biofilter units.
Advantages
The Far Infrared Bacteria Ball media offers a uniform spherical shape and consistent bead size that ensures even water flow and reduced clogging. Its porous surface increases the available area for bacterial biofilm formation, accelerating biological filtration processes. Supplied in a bulk 20 kg package, it is suitable for large-volume filtration needs and for replacing or topping up existing bio-media. The distinctive pink color allows easy visual identification during maintenance.
Suitable for
 Biological filtration in freshwater and landscaped aquariums
 Pond biofilters and external canister filters
 Filter chambers and trickle filters where high surface area media is required
 Systems aiming to reduce ammonia and nitrite through nitrification
When it may not be suitable
These beads are designed primarily as a biological filtration medium; they do not provide mechanical filtration to remove large debris. In heavily soiled systems with significant particulate load, pre-filtration or mechanical filter pads should be used ahead of this media. Also, while compatible with most freshwater systems, specialized chemical filtration (e.g., activated carbon, phosphate removers) must be added separately if required.
Key specifications
 Bead shape: spherical
 Bead size: approximately 18 × 20 mm
 Color: pink
 Material type: porous bio-media suitable for bacterial colonization
 Package weight: 20 kg
 Intended use: biological filtration for aquariums and ponds
How to use
Rinse the beads briefly with dechlorinated water to remove loose dust before first use. Place the media in the filter chamber, canister basket, or biofilter compartment ensuring uniform distribution to allow even water flow through the bed. Use mechanical pre-filtration upstream if the system produces visible debris to prevent rapid clogging. Replace or top up media in portions to preserve established bacterial colonies rather than replacing the entire volume at once, which helps maintain biological stability.
What to consider before purchase
 Ensure the bead size and bulk volume suit your filter unit and flow characteristics
 Plan for mechanical pre-filtration if your system carries significant particulate matter
 Confirm compatibility with freshwater or pond applications as required
 Account for storage space and safe handling of a 20 kg package
Usage recommendations
For best results combine this biological media with regular mechanical cleaning and partial media top-ups. Monitor ammonia and nitrite levels after installation and allow sufficient time for bacterial colonization before relying on the media for full nitrification performance.
