  • 3 Porosities to Choose From
  • Reusable
  • Fits all filters

These 2 inch thick reusable sponge pads come in three porosities. Black 15ppi being the most coarse and slowest to clog. The green 30ppi which is less coarse and should be the majority of the sponge used in a filter. The blue pad is 40ppi and is a fine polishing pad and will require frequent cleaning but will remove the most from your water to help get a crystal clear look. 

All sponge pads can be cut to fit and will even fit the largest filters like the Fluval FX6 and Eheim 1500XL classic and everything smaller. Cut to fit hang on backs or use in sump filters.

This foam is not shipped compressed like most sponge pads on the market. This saves you time and saves the pore structure of the foam to give it more longevity.

Filter media

I use this filter media in my sump. It works great I like using different PPI material. Before aquarium co-op filter media I just use one type of PPI media and it is restricting too much flow.

Move over, polishing pad. There’s a new kid in town.

We all know about the amazing coarse pad. When optimizing my filtration, coarse pads are my first and main media. I use them in my hobs, box filters and of course, sponge filters. I even use them to create little in tank habitats for black worms. Then, I’d finish things off with the a polishing pad. Worked great except for the polishing pad eventually has to be replaced. It can only be rinsed out so much. I’ve been looking for a polishing pad that lasts as long as the coarse ones. The blue fine pad is a dream come true. If you’re looking for a reusable polishing pad, this is it. If blue requires more rinsing than you are able to do, go green. 💚
