  • Carbon removes impurities and odors
  • Easy to cut to size of your filter
  • Keeps water clean and clear

Our Carbon-Infused Media Pads are great for removing discoloration, toxic waste chemicals, medication, and odors from your aquarium water. When added to your filter, it also helps to polish and clarify the water in your tank. This filter pad works similarly to loose activated carbon media but is much easier to handle and manage. It can easily be be cut down to the size of your filter for a perfect fit.

Chemical Filtration for Impurities and Odors

Chemical filtration has the ability to remove pollutants and certain chemicals from the water. Rather than use loose granules of activated carbon, we prefer these carbon-infused media pads because they are easier to handle, can be cut down to a custom size, and provide increased mechanical filtration for straining debris from the water.

Customizable to Fit Any Filter

Whether you have a hang-on-back, canister, or sump filter, this carbon filter pad can fit them all. Just grab a pair of scissors and cut the sponge into the right shape. When the chemical filtration is used up, simply dispose of the old filter media and cut out a new section from the pad to use.

Handy for a Tidal Filter

I cut this to the shape of a Tidal 110 filter sponge. It helps deal with a rescued common pleco. I stopped a kid from throwing it in a koi pond in Indiana.

My new carbon filter pads!

My new carbon filter pads! Was sceptical of quality based on previous brands and products which fall short. Cut out a couple of these co-op media pads and inserted behind drop in filter pads. I know what I saw in clarity within just a couple of hours! Loving this stuff and my fish were doing a song and dance for me when lights came on next morning. Highly recommended !

Great filter material ...

Really love this carbon infused media pad. It has been working well taking the tannin brown color out of the water after I placed a large piece of driftwood in my tank. My water has been so very nice and clear since placing the carbon pad in my HOB filter.

I bought this to modify my Top Fin Pro 50, and now it’s paired with Seachem Purigen. It is really easy to use and probably cheaper than buying carbon media every now and then. I hope that with everything I’m doing, my fish will live happy lives for many years to come. I found this company on YouTube, and wow—amazing! All the information and knowledge I’ve been adding to my mental vault is incredible.

Carbon pad

I use the carbon infused.media pad in the sump of my 130 gallon. It’s easy to cut to size and it helps keep the water very clear. It’s on my “must have” list for keeping my tank looking pristine.

Nice products but slow shipping.

Received the quality products i ordered, but, the shipping time was pretty slow. Package was sent to Pensacola, FL, for distribution instead of being shipped to Milton, FL, which would have made shipping
faster.

Carbon infused media pad

With goldfish nothing in the filter lasts long. So I decided to try the media pad as the bottom filter layer. A sheet cut to size for your filter gives you multiple pads so it’s economical. It’s amazing how much debris they catch. With 7” goldfish you need all the help you can get keeping your tank clean. The carbon infused media pad really helps!

Great pad

This is a great pad. I cut a section out that fit into my filter. It was super easy and not dusty at all. The water in my tank is lovely and clear and it is helping me work on the slightly elevated nitrates in my tank.

Convenient, not messy, and lasts

Easy to cut into whatever size pieces you need.
The carbon is well infused so there’s little dust or mess. The sponge pad adds as bacteria substrate if you leave it in your tanks.

A want or a need that can’t be beat

Though I can say I do enjoy sponge filters I use HOB filters for their low sound. I add the carbon filter pad to get that last bit of polish on the water along with the coarse sponge to really maximize my interior space.

Great filter for new tank

After setting up a new aquarium with substrate and adding water, the water was murky and rust colored. I cut the carbon pad along with a water polishing pad to fit an old power filter and ran it overnight. By the next morning the water was crystal clear with no discoloration. It was awesome!

The perfect filtration companion

Even if you’re not looking for the carbon part, this pad is part of the trifecta of mechanical filtration. I nestle it between the cut to fit ACO coarse pad and ACO fine pad to give me a clean and clear tank. Best part - it isn’t full of carbon dust! Anyone who has used loose carbon knows what I mean. You rinse and rinse and still see little particles in your water. No dust. No fuss. Yet another cost effective, quality product from Cory and company!

Great carbon filter

So far Good!

I installed the carbon infused media pad in my hang on the back filters to help control nitrate levels. So far it’s working. Levels have dropped.

Nice!

I never do reviews but they offered me 5% off if I gave my opinions so here you are. They are easy to cut to shape and it’s a good amount to. Filled my oase filtersmart 300 with plenty left over. Would recommend!

Great so far!

The pad was sturdy but easy to cut. I am using it to replace the plastic framed charcoal cartridge for the Aqueon Quietflow. Less plastic to throw away I figured.

Carbon filter pads

I used the technique of wrapping the pads around my sponge filters that I onmy found on the aquarium coop website. It cleared up my poor water quality in a few days. Thank you!

Terrific product

I can use this in my filter so I don't have to buy new filters all the time. Love this product and I am glad Cory introduced it to me!

Neat!!

I’ve never tried a carbon pad before, just the carbon in a mesh bag. This is so much neater! Easy to cut to size and no black residue on everything. Love it.
