    My Eheim professional 2222 contain ceramic rings and another like rocks. What are ceramic rings and the "rocks" used for?

    The ceramic rings help to spread out the water flow and trap large debris by creating eddys. The "rocks" are sintered glass... a media for beneficial bacteria to colonise. As suggested above, read up bio-filtration on the web for more info. www.thekrib.com is a good place to start.
