Bio Balls : size matters ? : 1" or 1.25"

[neoprodigy]

1.25"

seacorals 1"



20 gallon 1.25" = $60

This full 20 gallons of balls (1200 bio balls) has enough surface area to support a bacteria bed large enough to maintain a 500-1000 gallon saltwater aquarium

20 gallon 1" = $130

This full 20 gallons of 1" balls (4500 bio balls) equals 424 square feet of surface area, enough area to support a bacteria bed large enough to maintain a 500+ gallon saltwater aquarium.

dono which to get...

LOL The cheaper more space consuming ones in my opinion

 

[kev82]

I'd assume the smaller ones have a little more surface area, but the price difference is big, probably too big to justify the cost.

If you are going for surface area pot scrubbers hold more than bio balls and are cheaper IMO. There is a link around here somewhere about it...

pot scrubbers ftw !

although i have both

 

[beex215]

buy both of them. then you can have a bed that can support the ocean

Don't order yet. I think I may have something for you.

Looks to me like the cheaper is the better buy...this time.
