The open ball structure plus the internal sponge give a very large surface area where beneficial nitrifying bacteria colonise, breaking down toxic ammonia and nitrite while water flows freely through them. Available in 26 mm, 36 mm and 46 mm sizes, they suit canisters, sumps, trickle\/wet-dry filters and pond filter chambers, and can be used loose or in a media bag.<\/p>\n<h2>Key Features<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Bio-ball + sponge combo<\/strong> \u2014 open lattice sphere with an internal sponge for extra bacterial surface area.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Strong biological filtration<\/strong> \u2014 hosts nitrifying bacteria (ammonia \u2192 nitrite \u2192 nitrate).<\/li>\n<li><strong>High flow, low clogging<\/strong> \u2014 water passes freely through the open structure.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Three sizes<\/strong> \u2014 26 mm, 36 mm and 46 mm to suit different filters.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Durable plastic<\/strong> \u2014 reusable, easy to rinse and reinstall.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Freshwater &amp; marine<\/strong> \u2014 aquariums, sumps and ponds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Benefits<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Cleaner, healthier, more stable water through strong biological filtration.<\/li>\n<li>Reduces toxic ammonia and nitrite that stress fish.<\/li>\n<li>Free-flowing media that resists clogging in wet\/dry and trickle filters.<\/li>\n<li>Reusable and long-lasting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Why Choose This Product<\/h2>\n<p>Bio-balls are a classic, highly effective biological medium \u2014 and the XY-360 adds a sponge insert inside each ball, boosting the surface area available to beneficial bacteria beyond a plain bio-ball. The open spherical design keeps water and oxygen flowing, making them ideal for wet\/dry, trickle and sump filtration.<\/p>\n<h2>Ideal Use Cases<\/h2>\n<p>Canister filters, sumps, wet\/dry and trickle filters, overflow boxes and pond filter chambers \u2014 anywhere a free-flowing biological-filtration stage is needed. Use loose or in a media bag.<\/p>\n<h2>How It Works<\/h2>\n<p>As water passes over and through the balls, nitrifying bacteria living on the lattice and within the sponge core oxidise toxic ammonia into nitrite and then into far less harmful nitrate. Placed after mechanical media, the bio-balls carry the biological stage of filtration and keep the nitrogen cycle stable.<\/p>\n<h2>Technical Specifications<\/h2>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<th>Specification<\/th>\n<th>Detail<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Brand<\/td>\n<td>XINYOU (\u4fe1\u53cb)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Model<\/td>\n<td>XY-360<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Product<\/td>\n<td>Bio-Ball with sponge (\u751f\u7269\u7403) \u2014 biological filter media<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Material<\/td>\n<td>Plastic lattice sphere + internal sponge<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Colour<\/td>\n<td>Black<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Sizes<\/td>\n<td>26 mm \u00b7 36 mm \u00b7 46 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Shape<\/td>\n<td>Round (hollow lattice ball)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Function<\/td>\n<td>Biological filtration (nitrifying-bacteria support)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Application<\/td>\n<td>Freshwater &amp; marine aquariums, fish ponds<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Packing<\/td>\n<td>Supplied per box (manufacturer pack varies by size \u2014 e.g. 18 pcs at 36 mm)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Origin<\/td>\n<td>Guangdong, China<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Manufacturer<\/td>\n<td>XINYOU \/ Foshan Shunde Junyou Aquarium Product Factory<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<h2>How to Use<\/h2>\n<p>Rinse the bio-balls, then place them in the biological stage of your filter (after mechanical media), loose or in a media bag.
