About this product
Clear gel balls carry the live nitrifying bacteria and enzymes in this aquarium bacteria supplement from Aqueon. The PURE sphere gives the bacteria and enzymes a surface to reside on, and one ball is dosed per 10 gallons of tank water. The pack holds 24 gel balls, so a 10 gallon tank gets 24 weekly doses at one ball a week.

Gel balls, live bacteria and enzymes
Each PURE ball is a clear gel sphere that holds live nitrifying bacteria (F4) together with enzymes (F6). The sphere itself is what the bacteria and enzymes sit on, so the gel is the carrier rather than a coating (F13).
Nitrifying bacteria convert ammonia and nitrite to nitrate (F5), and the manufacturer gives the balls as an easy-to-dose gel form (F3). A single ball is the unit of dosing, so nothing has to be measured or poured.
Weekly dosing of one or two balls per 10 gallons
When a new aquarium is being started, the dose is two PURE per 10 gallons of tank water (F2).
The balls can go directly into the aquarium (F12). Because the manufacturer states the product cannot be overdosed (F7), the count of balls is the only figure to follow, and a 10 gallon tank takes one ball weekly or two at startup.
- One ball per 10 gallons each week for a running tank (F1)
- Two balls per 10 gallons when the tank is new (F2)
- Drop the balls straight into the water (F12)
- The product does not replace water changes (F11)
What happens to the gel balls in the tank?
The balls do not dissolve completely (F10). Any residue that is left can be taken out during a water change (F10), so the routine removal happens at the same time as the partial water change the tank already gets.
Checks before adding the balls
The manufacturer states the product does not replace water changes (F11), so a tank still needs its usual partial water changes alongside the weekly ball. The balls work most effectively in a filtered tank system (F9), so an unfiltered setup is not the situation the manufacturer describes for them.
Dosing is tied to volume: one ball covers 10 gallons each week and two cover 10 gallons at startup (F1, F2). A tank of a different volume needs the count scaled to its gallons rather than a fixed number of balls.
What the 24 count pack includes
- 24 clear gel balls of Aqueon PURE (S3, S10, S12)
- Each ball is a single dose for 10 gallons of tank water (F1)
- Item weight 91 g (3.2 oz) (S9)
- Pack dimensions 7.2 x 7.2 x 7.6 cm (S7)
Questions about the PURE gel balls
How many balls go into a 10 gallon tank each week?
One PURE ball per 10 gallons of tank water each week is the manufacturer's routine dose (F1). A new aquarium takes two balls per 10 gallons (F2).
Can the balls go straight into the fish tank?
Yes, the manufacturer states they can be added directly to the aquarium (F12). The gel form is also described as easy to dose (F3).
Do the gel balls dissolve fully?
No, they do not dissolve completely (F10). Leftover residue can be removed when the water is changed (F10).
Does this replace water changes?
No, the manufacturer states the product does not replace water changes (F11). The tank keeps its usual water change routine.
How much of the product is in the pack?
The pack holds 24 gel balls (S10). At one ball a week for a 10 gallon tank, that is 24 weekly doses (F1).
