Which Size Is Right for You?
Match the mesh to your media so it stays contained while water still flows freely. Fine, granular media such as PhosGuard or MatrixCarbon belong in the Small fine-mesh bag. Chunkier media that is larger than resins and sands fits the Medium mesh. For big volumes of large media, like bio-media in a large canister or sump, the Large coarse-mesh bag holds up to 18 liters.
