Match media to the filter and the maintenance job

Collection FAQ

Helpful buying info

How do I know which media I need?

Start with your filter type and the gap you are trying to fill. Sponges and pads catch debris, biomedia supports beneficial bacteria, and chemical media is usually added for a specific reason.

When should filtration media be replaced?

Replacement depends on the media type and the manufacturer guidelines. Rinse reusable media in tank water when appropriate, and avoid replacing everything at once in an established aquarium.

What goes well with a filtration order?

Conditioner, bacteria, test kits, and maintenance tools are the most common add-ons because they support the same stability goals.
