Lava Ring Filter Media – High Performance Biological Filtration Media

Enhance your aquarium or koi pond filtration system with Lava Ring Filter Media, a highly porous natural biological filter media designed to support beneficial bacteria growth and improve overall water quality. Lava rings are an essential component for effective biological filtration in aquariums, koi ponds, sump filters, canister filters, and DIY pond filter systems.

Why Lava Rings Are Important for Filter Systems

Lava rings are made from natural volcanic rock, featuring a micro-porous structure that provides an extremely large surface area. This allows beneficial nitrifying bacteria to colonize efficiently, helping to break down harmful substances such as ammonia and nitrite into safer nitrate.

By supporting biological filtration, lava rings play a crucial role in:

• Maintaining clear and healthy water

• Reducing toxic waste buildup

• Improving fish health and survival

• Stabilizing the nitrogen cycle
