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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:16px 0 4px;font-size:1.05em;font-weight:600;line-height:1.25;border-left:4px solid #666;padding-left:8px;\"\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCut 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:16px 0 4px;font-size:1.05em;font-weight:600;line-height:1.25;border-left:4px solid #666;padding-left:8px;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;font-size:0.95em;margin:4px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px 10px;background:#f5f5f5;font-weight:600;\"\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px 10px;\"\u003eFine mechanical polishing pad (filter floss)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px 10px;background:#f5f5f5;font-weight:600;\"\u003eUse\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px 10px;\"\u003eWater polishing, clears cloudy water\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px 10px;background:#f5f5f5;font-weight:600;\"\u003eFits\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px 10px;\"\u003eCut to size for any filter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px 10px;background:#f5f5f5;font-weight:600;\"\u003eWater Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px 10px;\"\u003eFreshwater and saltwater\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:16px 0 4px;font-size:1.05em;font-weight:600;line-height:1.25;border-left:4px solid #666;padding-left:8px;\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere does it go in my filter?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlace it after your coarse mechanical media and before your biological media so it polishes the water without clogging too fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I rinse and reuse it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFreshwater or saltwater?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth.
