Lois its all about location location, location

Just a word on the “balls from hell”. I have had bio balls as part of my filtration system for over 10 years. In that time I have cleaned them a total of two times and really did not need to clean them THAT OFTEN. Now as my good friends would surly agree in this hobby as well as other instances...
