bio balls and ceramic ring does not improve water conditions directly. What they are for is to increase surface area so that beneficial bacteria that processes ammonia and nitrite can colonise.

possibilities

1. felt
usually psychological
2. they might actually clear up the water due to their very fine pores trapping the small bits that give the water a cloudy look
