Ceramic Noodles Filter Media

These noodles provide a housing material for bacteria which form the major part of the biological filtration in your fish tank.

Ceramic noodles filter media.

It s kinda hard to screw up ceramic noodles. 3 people found this. If your filter didn t come with any ceramic rings or you want to purchase more grab some here or from your local fish store they are very affordable. Simply add them to your aquarium filter.

This tub comes with a pullstring bag to be used for keeping noodles together inside your filter. Many filter kits already include ceramic rings in the box. And get the same effect. While some ceramic rings come with their own filter media bag others come loose.

If you are going to go back to the carbon there is no sense in putting the ceramic noodles in the filter since about the time they start having an effect you would be ready to remove them. Using ceramic rings couldn t be easier. The noodles as you call them are biological media and would do nothing until they are populated with bacteria. For me i find that the benefits of ceramic style media far outweigh that of plastic bio balls but then i have a very strict maintenance routine.

If you are looking for a filter media that only carries nitrifying bacteria and requires little maintenance then bio balls do have their upsides particularly if you use a trickle filter. And to be honest you could probably just use a bunch of garden cinder etc.
