Key Benefits:

  • Double Thickness for Better Filtration: Its double-layer design allows the filter pad to serve a better purpose of mechanical filtration, catching fine and large particles, including detritus, excess food, and waste products. None of them would decompose in the tank at the expense of water quality.
  • Cut to size, shape - Varied: These pads are easily cut and shaped for all types of filter systems such as hang-on-back filters, canister filters, and sump systems. Such adaptability makes them fit into aquariums serving varied purposes and of different sizes.
  • Improves Water Clarity: By capturing particulates, the double-thick pad provides a major leap in the clarity of aquarium water that is pleasing and healthy for your aquatic life.
  • Supports Biological Filtration: While it is mainly used in mechanical filtration, the pad structure is tightly woven to provide a good surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonize. These bacteria are very instrumental in the process of biological filtration, whereby they break down the harmful ammonia and nitrites.
  • Long-lasting and Durable: The robustly constructed construction of the double-thick pad ensures that it holds up well over time and can be used extensively before being replaced. This durability can be of particular value in systems with high bioloads.
  • Easy Maintenance: This pad can be rinsed and reused several times, provided the load of particulate matter collected is within manageable levels. For optimal performance, however, regular replacement is recommended to maintain effective filtration and water flow.
