Aquarium Co-Op Fine Poly Pad

The Aquarium Co-Op Fine Poly Pad is a dense, tightly-woven water-polishing filter floss that pulls the finest particulate out of your water column for visibly clearer water. It cuts down easily to fit inside just about any filter, and it works in both freshwater and saltwater setups. Pair it with more media from our filter media collection.

Why Reefers and Aquarists Love It

• Greatly improves water clarity by trapping fine particulate
• Dense, tightly-woven construction catches what coarse media misses
• Easy to cut to the exact size of your filter for a custom fit
• Works in freshwater and saltwater aquariums

How It Works

Tiny particles of uneaten food and waste slip through coarse filter media and keep circulating in your tank, clouding the water and breaking down into ammonia over time. The Fine Poly Pad adds a layer of fine mechanical filtration that captures that detritus before it can cause problems, so your water stays clean and clear and your filter runs more efficiently.

How to Use

Cut the pad to fit your filter and place it in the water flow after your coarse mechanical media and before your biological media. Rinse it if it clogs quickly, and replace it once it stops flowing well or stays discolored. For heavily stocked or messy tanks, keep a spare on hand.

FAQ

Where does it go in my filter?
Place it after your coarse mechanical media and before your biological media so it polishes the water without clogging too fast.

Can I rinse and reuse it?
You can rinse it a time or two if it clogs, but as a fine polishing pad it is meant to be replaced once it stays discolored or slows your flow.

Freshwater or saltwater?
Both. The Fine Poly Pad works the same in freshwater and reef systems.
