Reef Safe????

[rykna]

I purchased some "Biomate"(real cheap on sale) Filter Boost Media Filled Balls.
The Media includes:
Carbon~ I know this is okay
Foam ~ I know this is okay
Ceramic~ ???

I failed to notice if they were reef safe...and it does not mention if it is on the box

The ceramic surface is used to collect good bacteria. Yes, they are reef safe. There is different oppionions about these things. Some people really like these bioballs with their filled components, some people would call them nitrate factories. What kind of filtration system will you be using them in. I could be wrong, but I believe you are supposed to rinse them monthly when cleaning.

They're gong into my Eheim Pro2. I haven't had to add new stuff into my canister for so long I couldn't remember if the ceramic was ok
