Water filtration tank
As I mentioned before, bio balls are essential for the growth of beneficial bacteria in your tank. They come with small holes and ridges, which allow the beneficial bacteria to grow in them.
The use of having beneficial bacteria in your water filtration tank is to help in the elimination of particular toxins and chemicals in the water. They help in eliminating the ammonia and nitrates issues from the pond.
Water plants and any other aquarium inhabitant
Ammonia is present in the fish waste and in fact, no fish waste does not contain ammonia. The issue comes in that even the smallest amount of ammonia can be very toxic to fish, water plants and any other aquarium inhabitant.
The beneficial bacteria in water are responsible for breaking down the ammonia, and this is where the fish tank bio balls come in. The bacteria grow in the ball, and upon the production of ammonia, it breaks it down to nitrites.
The nitrites are still toxic to plants and fish, but the good news is that the process does not end there. The nitrites are then broken down into nitrates, which are barely harmful to the living components in water.
To break it down to you, bio balls allow water to flow through them, and once the water flows through the filter, it goes through bacteria which eliminate ammonia and nitrates. They are meant to be biological filters, which keeps your creatures safe from unwanted naturally occurring compounds such as ammonia.

There seem to be misunderstandings on how to use bio balls, and I'm here to make it clear for you. Bio balls are supposed to be submerged in water. They should be at the bottom of the aquarium. This is how you should use bio balls in sump, HOB filter or canister. The only time you are supposed to do otherwise is if you want to use them in a trickle-filter.
Ensure to place an additional filter in a pond that requires additional filtration. The bio balls are required where you need additional surface area for the growth of bacteria.
The answer on how many balls to use per gallon depends on the brand. However, the rule is 2.2 gallons of bio balls for 100 gallons of water. The bio balls come in different sizes meant for different kinds of filters. There are ceramic bio balls and plastic bio balls, and it is up to you to get the best based on your specific needs. If you are going for the small bio balls for the pond, then you will need more and need less if you choose the large ones for the same-sized filter.
Bio balls are only supposed to be used for filtration. They have been designed that way to house bacteria but not to trap waste from water. To ensure this, you should at least have a mechanical filter in place before submerging your bio balls. With this, the filters will catch the waste before it gets to the bio balls.
Take a close look and check if there is any brown gunk or thick green coating on the balls and if there are, it is time to clean. Bio balls-cleaning is best if done when changing water. Take some water from the aquarium and swish the balls in it. Note that you should not scrub them as this could remove the bacteria.
From this, there is no doubt that bio balls are of great essence to any fish keeper. You cannot run a successful fish business without them. If you use them appropriately, in the right amount and take great care of them, you can be assured of great results.
