As its name suggest, bio-home, a xxxxpore. It has micro spore that house bacteria better than bio-ball. It simply does not trap denitrus as much as bio-ball. But they still do.

In my option, LR with lots of spore will do they same and they come even with bacteria. Over time bio-home will be as good.

Equipment:

30G Corner Tank with 10G Sump, 2 x 24W artinic T5, 1 x 24W 10K, 1x 24W 20K, 3" Grade 0 sand & Live rocks, Activated Carbon, Bio-home, 2 x Seio M620, Hailea 1/2HP Chiller, Redsea Pro Skimmer

Live Stock:

Turbo Snail x 1, Green Mandarin Dragonet X 2, Blue Tang X 2, True percular x 2, 1 x Algae Bleenie, Clarke clown x 2

Reef:

1 x 2" Blue maxima, Red/Brown/Purple Mushroom (Discosoma), Pink Ricordea yuma, A little colony Brown/Green common Zoanthus, Red/Pink/Green US Zoanthus, Eagle-eye Zoathus, 14 Branch Goniopora Pandoraensis, 1 Starburst Polyps, 3 + 2 Branch Frogspawn, 4 Blasto, palythoa, Cheato

RIPs (Since June 2005):

1. Sabae clown (KO by Clarke clown) 2. 1 branch melted frogspawn 4 branch 3. Golden maxima (Ripe the base off rock by me) 4. Algae Bleenie x 2 (Starvation) 5. Blue Maxima x 1, 2 x Maxima, 1 x frogspawn, rics (Overtemp...)

Old 30G Corner Tank.

Restarted 30G Corner Tank.

I am running some bioballs (Aqua Medic bactoballs) now. Basically Biohome and Cerapore are the same thing.

The question is.. how much cash you willing to spend? If you can allocate $100+ for 2 to 3 boxes then of course better than conventional bioballs. But according to a reliable LFS (who also sells Biohome and Cerapore) the difference will not be too great. Bioballs = Nitrate Factory, Biohome less likely a Nitrate Factory... is still treated by many as an "urban legend" or a "myth".

If you have budget control, might as well use that $100+ on something more significant that can help improve water drastically like invest in a better protein skimmer or a better wavemaker.

That's why I am still using my bioballs :lol:
