yes they have greater surface area to collect bio (better than bioballs)
You have to make sure you have good mechanical filtration before them though.
They are tightly packed and can clog up.

I used to be a huge scrubbie believer until little bugs started nesting in them and my filter room filled up with flying bugs hatching from them. Scrubbies gone, bio balls in. No more bugs.
I'm not saying don't use them but that's my story

so the plastic scrubbies birthed bugs
LOL, yes they did. We live out in the country so something must have found it's way from the good old outdoors and just happened to find a perfect home in the scrubbies. The bio balls have less surface area but greater flow and the little buggers can't take hold to them.
