🌟 Advanced Filtration & Reusability
-
Dual-Action Bio-Media: Effectively traps fish waste and uneaten food (mechanical filtration) while the microscopic pores provide a perfect breeding ground for bacteria that break down toxic ammonia and nitrites (biological filtration).
-
Washable & Never Deforms: Made from premium, high-resilience synthetic foam. It maintains its shape and structural integrity even after months of use and repeated rigorous washings, saving you money on disposable cartridges!
-
100% Custom Cut-to-Fit: Don't be restricted by factory filter sizes! Simply use standard scissors or a utility knife to cut this massive pad to perfectly fit your specific hang-on-back filter, canister, sump, or trickle box.
⚠️ Pore Size Selection Guide (Crucial!)
Choosing the right pore size is essential to prevent overflows and maintain water clarity. Please read the Atradesen.com guide below:
-
Large Hole (Coarse): Best for the first stage of filtration or outdoor ponds with heavy bioloads. Allows high water flow and traps large debris like fish poop without clogging quickly.
-
Medium Hole: The perfect balanced sponge for standard indoor aquariums and general mechanical/biological filtration.
-
Small Hole (Fine): Best used as the final "polishing" stage in already relatively clean water. Traps the tiniest micro-particles for ultimate clarity, but will clog very quickly if used as the very first layer in a dirty tank.
