Marineland PA11486 Canister Filter Bio-Balls for C-Series Filters, 90-Count

Marineland PA11486 Canister Filter Bio-Balls for C-Series Filters, 90-Count

Q: Can I add these directly into my fish tank or do I require a sump tank?

Ideally you want them in the filter where there is a constant water flow/current. If you have a canister filter you can put them in the tray, if you have a hang on the back filter you can put them in there to (next to/behind.infront of the normal filter) Id try to put them after the main filter though, that way the water gets filtered before it goes through the bio balls. They will definitely help, the more bio filter the better.

Q: Should these be replaced after a certain amount of time?

They do not have to be replaced, but if they get too dirty rinse them out in a bucket of aquarium water. For example when you do a water change, use your old water to rinse them out so they don't have all that gunk in them, but DO NOT rinse them in sink water or any other water that has any soap or bleach or any chemicals at all. Another thing would be to not rinse all of them from your aquarium at the same time. Rinse half one week and the other half two weeks later. That keeps your tank from losing too much of the good bacteria that keeps your tank cycled.

Q: Could this be draped over a sponge filter to colonize bacteria and then draped over a new sponge filter to jumpstart the cycle?

They have no beneficial bacteria until they are cycled, once cycled you can use them to seed/jumpstart another biological filter, you can put some in a canister filter with new bio-balls, or put some in a new wet dry filter. If I remember this brand floats very well and I used them in a compartment in a canister filter. Not sure how to use them for a sponge filter? I keep a spare sponge filter running in my wet dry sump to use in emergencies. You can also squeeze out a cycled sponge filter with a new one so the biological material can colonize the new sponge. There some good bacteria starting cultures that will speed up the cycling process, I like the Fritz brand.

Q: Says do not rinse with tap water. My tap water is from my well no chemicals, straight from the ground. Is this ok?\

No, do not rinse at all. You have to let the biologicals build up. Well water has more chemicals than tap water except for fluoride.
