  • 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.

Coarse Sponge for Mechanical Filtration

Mechanical filtration refers to sponge, foam, and polishing pads that physically strain out debris from the water, much like a coffee filter. We chose a coarse sponge with large pores because it's good for blocking most debris like fish poop and dead leaves without clogging up so quickly that you have to constantly clean it.

Customizable to Fit Any Filter

Whether you have a hang-on-back, canister, or sump filter, this coarse sponge pad can fit them all. Just grab a pair of scissors and cut the sponge into the right shape. To clean it, simply remove the sponge from the filter and squeeze it multiple times in old aquarium water until all the brown gunk is removed.
