How does filtering aquarium water work?

Polluted water is run through a five-step process and various filtering media. As the water passes through ceramic filter rings, bio balls, filter foam, carbon filter media and filter floss, particles and dirt are removed and the water is treated to mechanical, biological and chemical filtration.
