Same affect and ceramic rings but a lot more porous a lot more surface area for beneficial bacteria.
Ceramic ring aquarium benefits.
The ceramic rings are porous with extremely high surface area allowing these colonies to grow in abundance.
If all carbon bits are removed there s no problem if the rings are stained black anyway.
The advancements will always probably revolve around binding and export.

While some ceramic rings come with their own filter media bag others come loose.

1 biomax ring at least 100 ft 2 9 3 m 2 so that s a lot of area per little ring.
The rings are bulky packing loosely allowing for water to flow easily over all the surface of the rings which allows more of the chemicals to be treated by the filter.
Ceramic rings are more associated with mechanical filtration.
My guess is the water s path through the rings would cause large particulate to drop out much the same as when it goes through a media such as matrix.
Using ceramic rings couldn t be easier.
Chemical filter media the most common one is activated carbon which eliminates dissolved organic compounds from aquarium water.
Many filter kits already include ceramic rings in the box.
I may still give ceramic bio media a try though.

Bio balls on the other hand last almost forever.
That is probably the limitation that we will always have in our tiny closed systems.
Why not just use biomass or bio rings instead.

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.
