If they reduce NO3 I will gladly pay $500 per kg.To borrow a quote from a fellow forumer, "do not believe these kind of fairy tales!".This reflects the sad state of many LFS owners/staff.Dont know the difference bet. nitrite and nitrate.Its like a stockbroker who doesnt know diff. between blue chips and potato chips.

OK.Both are housing medias for bacteria.They create space for bacteria to thrive.Most rings made of ceramic whereas Biohome from sinster glass.You can get ceramics for less than 10 bucks a pack but biohome claims to house much more bacterias therefore the higher asking price.I have one pack of biohome.It CLAIMS to be able to treat tonnes of water due to the many bacterias it can house therefore not taking up space in your filter.Is it better?I dont know.My biofilter is working fine and it could have jolly well worked with ceramics in the first place.

Speaking of "in the first place",these might not be even needed so long as there are places for the bacteria to thrive eg if you have sandbed,and they live evrywhere...your glass tank,decors,plants,wool,carbon,rocks,sponge,pumps....
