Filter Media
There are many types of filter media, so it is important to understand that each type performs a different task within the aquarium. Fortunately, we sell all the media you’ll ever need for your aquarium, from mechanical (sponges and pads) and chemical (carbon, phosphate removers) to biological (bio balls) media.

You can learn more about chemical filter media by visiting our Education Center.
Using carbon in your aquarium will help keep the water crystal clear, while the use of phosphate and/or nitrate removers can aide in the reduction of nuisance algae.

ESV, Two Little Fishies, Seachem, Kent Marine and Boyd’s Chemipure each produce high-quality, low-cost filter media that remain popular among aquarium aficionados.

Many types of filter media require the use of a filter media bag if not used in a fluidized bed filter. We carry an assortment of media bags with different micron (pore) sizes and dimensions for use in may different applications.

You will also find micron filter socks for your sump in this section.
