Aqua Euro White Filter Pad
$ 9.49
- This is great filter pad! We use it ourselves.
- It is sold by the square foot, and comes in rolls 2 feet wide.
- You can purchase 4 sq. ft. (2’ X 2’ piece), 6 sq. ft. (3’ X 2’ piece) etc- just like fabric.
- Cut it into any shape you need.
- Works well with wet/dry filters, Bio-fil sumps, uni-aquariums, and most any filter where filter pad is needed.
- Thickness is approximately ¾” when dry.
- White filter pad should be cleaned under a sink and wrung out once every 1-2 weeks, depending on how dirty the aquarium is.
- If you want denser filter pad try using multiple layers of this White filter pad.
- When using multiple layers the largest, most clogging debris, is trapped on the top filter pad.
- You can rinse only the top layer of filter pad every other time and leave the bottom layer of filter pad, which will not be nearly as dirty, in place.

Blue Life CLEAR FX PRO
$ 14.99
CLEAR FX PRO is the most advanced all-in-one filtration media available on the market. Our cutting edge technology is compatible with both fresh and saltwater aquariums of all sizes. The easy to use media is the most comprehensive and reliable solution for aquarists of all skill levels.
The proprietary blend combines a super carbon, hybrid phosphate resin and organic scavenger resin. CLEAR FX PRO works rapidly to remove organic pollutants while leaving behind essential trace elements effectively keeping aquariums clean, clear and healthy for months.
To use the product simply place the mesh filter bag within a high flow area of your filtration system. The media is compatible within both canister filters and standard sumps.
Granular Activated Carbon (GAC):
CLEAR FX PRO contains a coal based granular activated carbon (GAC). The product offers the hardest carbon available that will still work when used in water. The high surface area and durability of our unique carbon allows CLEAR FX PRO to last longer and prevent deterioration over time. Unlike other carbon based filtration medias, the extremely low ash content of CLEAR FX PRO will not lead to hole in the head or lateral line disease within your aquarium.
Hybrid Phosphate Removing Resin:
CLEAR FX PRO introduces a new and exciting technology to the phosphate removal process. Unlike competing medias, CLEAR FX PRO uses a hybrid resin that works more effectively than Granular Ferric Oxide (GFO) phosphate removers. The resin’s spherical beaded structure will not clump or clog. The long lasting, high capacity resin absorbs phosphates in half the time as a standard GFO and will not release phosphates back into the water after reaching maximum capacity.
Organic Scavenger Resin
The scavenger resin in CLEAR FX PRO attracts your tanks organics, effectively controlling ammonia, nitrate and nitrite levels. The organic scavenger resin has a macro-porous design that will not clog as quickly as competing organic removers. The resin works hand-in-hand with our GAC to deliver clarity, stability and health to your aquarium water.

Brightwell Aquatics Xport PO4 Cubes
$ 31.00
Ultra-activated Phosphate-adsorption Media with Superior Performance Characteristics
Overview
- Utilizes NanoIntelex Technology to create an enhanced, "ultra-activated" material with the capacity to outperform conventional phosphate-adsorption media by over 500%
- Removes ~30 - 100 mg phosphate per 1 g of media, dependant upon initial concentration in system.
- Open structure and high surface area results in superior flow-through characteristics and adsorptive efficiency.
- Higher adsorptive capacity relative to conventional media results in smaller space requirements to achieve equivalent phosphate uptake.
- Capable of removing phosphate for over 1-year after initial placement in aquatic system.
- May be used in conjunction with Xport Bio Cubes and Xport NO3 Cubes
Sizes
350g, 700g, 2000g
instructions
Read all instructions before use.
The use of a mechanical pre-filter to remove particulate organic material from water prior to its interaction with this media will improve efficiency.
Rinse Xport PO4 Cubes in purified water or low-TDS fresh water, then place media into a clean pail and fill with water from the aquarium into which the media is to be placed.
At an initial phosphate concentration of 1 ppm or less, 350 g of Xport PO4 Cubes is capable of extracting ~10.5 g of phosphate; this equates to 1 g of Xport PO4 Cubes per 396 US-gallons (1,500 L) to eliminate 0.02 ppm phosphate. Replace media when phosphate concentration ceases to decrease (if greater than 0 ppm) or begins to increase.
In low-nutrient aquaria, it is not uncommon for several months to pass before the media has become exhausted. If corals or other invertebrates appear to react negatively to the use of the media, it may be an indication that reactive phosphate is being removed too aggressively; decrease amount used by 50% and continue use until phosphate concentration appears to be immeasurable.
The most efficient use of Xport PO4 Cubes will rely upon regular testing for phosphate with an accurate test kit to ensure that the mass of media being employed is suitable for the system requirements. A flow-through rate of 1 - 3x the total aquarium volume per hour is recommended. Do not fluidize; fluidization serves to decrease filtration efficiency and may cause gradual deterioration of the material, potentially resulting in dispersal of harmless, but unattractive, dust throughout the system.
Canister filtration:
Load Xport-PO4 into filter cartridge as directed by filter manufacturer.
Passive filtration:
Place Xport PO4 Cubes loosely in an 800µm mesh filter bag and locate in an area of low- to medium-flow.
Media reactors:
If placing Xport PO4 Cubes into a media reactor, ensure that the media remains "static" and non-moving.

Seachem The Bag
$ 7.67
The Bag™ is an innovative welded filter bag with a durable non-stitched seam. It has a 180 micron mesh, is resistant to bleach, caustics, and acids, and comes with a convenient resealable locking closure. It is available in a convenient 5" x 10" size. It is ideal for all filtration products and has an exceptionally long life.
Unlike stitched seams, welded seams are not subject to degradation from exposure to bleach, caustics, acids, or other harsh environmental exposure likely to take place during regeneration of filter media. Caution should be excercised, however, to avoid overfilling or over-packing as welded seams can be forced to separate by excessive pulling forces.
Sizes: 5" X 10"
Directions
Simply place desired filtration material e.g. Purigen®, CupriSorb™, etc. and close The Bag using the resealable locking closure. For best results, The Bag ™ should be placed so as to maximize the flow of water through it.
