## Summary description

AquaNatura Quartz Bacteria Ball is a filter media supplied as 18×20 mm spherical quartz elements, packaged in a 10 kg bag. Designed for biological filtration, the porous quartz balls provide surface area for beneficial bacteria colonization, improving nitrification and water quality in aquariums and pond filters. Suitable for mechanical/biological filter chambers and media reactors.

## Long description

AquaNatura Quartz Bacteria Ball 18×20 mm is a filter media supplied as uniform spherical quartz elements in a 10 kg bag. Each 18×20 mm ball is porous and provides a stable surface for colonization by nitrifying bacteria. The product is intended for use in aquarium and pond filtration systems where biological filtration and improved water quality are required. The quartz composition ensures inert behaviour in filter chambers and media reactors, helping to support nitrification while resisting breakdown over long-term use.
Advantages
The spherical quartz structure offers large specific surface area in a compact form factor, promoting rapid establishment of beneficial bacteria colonies that convert ammonia and nitrite. The uniform 18×20 mm size enables consistent flow and minimizes channeling in mechanical and biological filter chambers. Being made of quartz, the balls are chemically inert, durable and easy to rinse, which contributes to reliable long-term performance in freshwater and pond systems.
Suitable for
Aquarium internal and canister filters with biological media compartments
Pond filters and multi-chamber filtration systems
Media reactors and fluidized beds designed for spherical bio-media
Maintenance or upgrade of existing mechanical/biological filter setups
Key specifications
Shape: spherical elements
Element size: approximately 18×20 mm
Material: porous quartz
Packaging: 10 kg bag
Intended function: biological filtration support and surface area for nitrifying bacteria
Compatibility: suitable for freshwater aquariums and garden ponds
How to use
Rinse the quartz bacteria balls briefly with dechlorinated water to remove dust from packaging before placing them into the filter. Place the media into the biological chamber of an internal, canister or pond filter, or load into a media reactor according to the reactor manufacturer's instructions. Ensure even flow through the media to avoid dead zones; regular flow promotes colonization and nitrification. Do not use cleaning chemicals; periodic gentle rinsing during maintenance is sufficient to remove trapped debris without destroying established bacterial colonies.
Usage recommendations
Allow a colonization period after first installation: avoid full media replacement of all biological media at once to preserve beneficial bacteria. Monitor water parameters (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate) after installation and during conditioning. When servicing, rinse media in removed tank or pond water rather than tap water to maintain bacterial populations.
