Larger than it looks

They work very well but they are a lot larger than they appear in the picture. In my 80 gallon filter I only had to put about 4 filters. I have used some from another company and they were much smaller and could hold more. I don't think I'll get efficiency from them just because I can't fit enough in my filter. I would suggest only using them for larger applications. I bought two boxes but I think it will last a lifetime lol.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design

The solution to a low maintenance aquarium

It only took me 2 years to learn the truth about keeping the aquarium balanced and the fish alive and happy. I now have a 36 gallon front tank with about 17 Molly, Platy, White Skirt Tetra and Julia Corey fish. The filtration is carried out by two HOB AquaClear 50 filters, each with a foam pre-filter and a sponge and Fluval BioMax media (no activated carbon filter and no foam substitute). This setup keeps my aquarium in perfect balance. 0 nitrite, 0 nitrate and 0 ammonia. 1 box filled with 2…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Not the best

I love this stuff the most in Fish & Aquatic Pets

I think this is one of the best organic carriers. It's relatively cheap and very effective; I use it in all my doses. I bought this box to fill a step in my SUNSUN HW-302. In the past I had very healthy and densely populated tanks with this medium. I know some people say that the micropores in this type of media clog over time, but how quickly this happens really depends on a lot of factors. I wash mine with tank water at every water change and maybe once a year I change 10% to fresh medium.

Pros
  • Beautiful packaging
Cons
  • Lots of things

Perfect for what I need

Just what I needed, I got the sponges from a Marineland Emperor 400 on my 30 gallon reef tank. The tanks have been up for a year now and the dry live rock I've used is starting to grow well, but I haven't decided what to do with it yet. Instead of removing the extra flow the hob added, I just put them in between the chemical canisters and the bio wheels. A box filled most of the page. Will update if I notice a charge, I don't think I will, this is bio media not showing much. Well, swap it out…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Updates

You won't find cheaper at Petco or Walmart. Great carrier, Prob takes 2 cartons to fill a canister tray but they last forever so it's worth it. Excellent support surface, very porous. This is almost half the cost of stores. I also use thoroughly washed lava rock as a carrier in my SunSun canister. About $6 for a large back of a small red lava rock. This is the best media to put in your filter, it lasts forever and works wonders for my crystal clear 55 gallon tank. These rings added a nice…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Secret

Fantastic Media lasts forever at an outrageous price

This is truly amazing value. Ceramic filter media, like everything else in life, varies widely in quality. Fluval Biomax is incredibly porous because it is not buffed or polished. It's rough texture and millions of tiny crevices attract nitrifying bacteria like a magnet and encourage rapid growth. Because they are so textured and allow full water flow, colonization is very fast and you will see the results of this product in less ammonia. Spikes, as well as more stable water parameters.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Slightly torn
