  • 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.

Great value

These are an awesome product! You get so much foam, it's a very generous package, that if you are an average hobbyist these sponges will last a long time. I was able to customize all 5 of my HOB with plenty to spare. So much better than what comes standard with them and they are a WAY cheaper than rebuying the filters that the companies want you to buy. This combined with biological filter media and you are set. Pairs well with the filter floss they sell too.

Overdue Product

Most of us are well aware that changing media types or adding to our filters is a great way to gain more from our filters. People have added various sponges, pot scrubbers, and other materials to fill the media chamber. Aquarium Co-op did this right. You can choose various pore sizes depending on your intent, they are not squished, and they give you plenty to add to your filter. Rocks and ceramics are not the only good filter media.
