Bio balls and ceramic noodles vs live rock hi everyone im new to the reef tank and marine tanks in general.
Denitrifying bacteria live inside rock ceramic and other porous materials where no air is present.
These noodles provide a housing material for bacteria which form the major part of the biological filtration in your fish tank.
Ceramic noodles can carry both nitrifying bacteria on the surface and denitrifying bacteria inside.
I can t see where it makes much difference which is in there as long as there is something for the bacteria to grow on.
Bio balls only carry nitrifying bacteria.
