Bioballs

[Betta5]

If bioballs were put into a bag (thing for chemi balls etc) then would they still need cleaning and would they grow bacteria?

Thanks

 

[k.o.d]

Yes but not as often as long as the bag doesnt occlude with crap and yes, a good surface area for bacteria
In all honesty though, why put them in a bag, bio balls are good at keeping themselves fairly clean anyway

I was just wondering thank you very much,

if you use bio-balls they need to either be rinsed regularly in tank water or used in a trickle tower for maximum efficiency.

A trickle filter? I read somewhere that using them under water will make them work better because they can get further along the nitrogen cycle. Let me have a look for it.
