Ceramic noodles filtration.
No problems it s kinda hard to screw up ceramic noodles.

Aqua one bionood ceramic noodles are a biological filter media for use in aquarium filtration systems.
This tub comes with a pullstring bag to be used for keeping noodles together inside your filter.
Bioballs are designed to be used in trickle filters aka wet dry.
Many filter kits already include ceramic rings in the box.
A sump is not truly a filter but it can be used to house the filtration systems including mechanical biological filtration media.
Water from aquarium is pushed into the sump where it removes waste using mechanical filtration media toxic components are removed in biological chamber hence clean water flows back to the aquarium using gravity if it is an overhead sump filter.
If you are using mechanical filtration coarse fine prior on the filter line ceramic rings will last years.
Thinking on it i don t know anyone in the hobby who even bothers.
Simply add them to your aquarium filter.
And to be honest you could probably just use a bunch of garden cinder etc.
I can t answer your exact question.
The biggest issue here is the use of the biomedia.
Bacteria are necessary in the filtration process and the ceramic noodles act as a mechanical biological filter.
These noodles provide a housing material for bacteria which form the major part of the biological filtration in your fish tank.
If your filter didn t come with any ceramic rings or you want to purchase more grab some here or from your local fish store they are very affordable.
Ceramic noodles and other biomedia shouldn t break down.
Their use is mainly a carry over from f w hobby practice not from real need but from everyone puts a filter on a tank i alone have owned 200 canisters over the wal mart bearing years active aquarium nerd 1985 pre.

If you took any ceramic filter offline any average reef tank would still run unabated.
The only reason i would replace it is to switch over to seachem matrix.
