How do you clean bio balls?

Jun. 27, 2019

If you notice a thick green or brown gunk coating your bio balls, then you need to clean them.

Cleaning bio balls is best done during a water change.

Take some of the water you removed from your tank and swish the bio balls around in it. Don’t scrub or wipe your bio balls as this can remove the bacteria.

You should notice the water turn cloudy as the bio balls move through it – this is the built-up organic matter falling off.

If your bio balls are particularly dirty, you might need to repeat the process.

Important: Do not use any other water than your tank water to clean your bio balls. Using tap water can kill the bacteria in your aquarium, causing your tank to crash – if this happens, you will need to cycle your aquarium again

And, it should go without saying, but don’t use any soap, disinfectant or other cleaning agent – you will kill all the bacteria on your bio balls
