These work wonders in a fairly quick time. I was fed up with adding constant chemicals to help improve the tank water and popped some of these in the filter and they work really well. Good clarity of water. Fish seem happy, and less cleaning for me .
Excellent 10/10
Having recently upgraded my aquarium filter, I was keen to try these lava-lite aqua nuggets. I have heard great things about them. They create an excellent natural biofiltration. You need to make sure, like anything you put in your tank or filter, that they are rinsed first. As they did have quite alot of dust covering them. So far so good the water clarity is good. I might actually purchase some more and put them in my outdoor pond.
These are porus nuggets of rock to encourage biological filteration In ponds and aquariums. The only downside I have found is that approximately half the pieces float which makes containing them tricky.
