🐠 Aquatic Arts FilterPlus: Enhanced Bio-Media Aquarium Filter Review

Very fast shipping and great seller, just got into the fish thing and got great info the sellers know their stuff. The water in the aquarium is crystal clear! Thanks very much!

Just grab a 1 gallon pail of Seachem Matrix. You will get a lot more for your money trust me. Don't hesitate to spend money here. 1000g came in a box smaller than a box of tissues. It was the size of my average palm. Do not recommend this.

It was a plagiarism. Even at 1000g you get a tiny box the size of two large 3x3 sticker packs. I bought this thinking I would save money over Matrix, but Matrix comes in a 1 gallon pail - a lot more. I would definitely say that the unit price is better with a matrix.

Amazing stuff. My small batch fell apart in a bag of darker stones. Some immediately fell to the bottom of the tank, others swam to the top. I put a handful on the filter. It helps a lot in my crowded aquarium. I inherited some fish 2 weeks ago and can only adopt them after the holidays. It really helps improve their quality of life. Soon they will be moving to friends 80 gallon aquarium :)

This filter media is exactly the same as the Matrix but a few dollars cheaper. The 400g serving size filled about half of one of my media baskets in my Sunsun 303B. I would recommend the 1000g size for those looking to fill the entire basket in most canister filters. The 400g size wasn't a problem for me as I only wanted to buy a small amount to fill one of my baskets to the max. All around a lot and great product.

On arrival most of the stone was pumice and 9 stones were other non-porous rock. The total weight of the non-porous rock was about 80 grams, which means that 8% of this product is unusable. The stone cleans well and will not crack or break when heated at 450F for 1 hour. Overall, this is a decent carrier with a good finish. Note that some of these rocks will float for a while, so don't plan on using them in places where they can float away or get stuck in pumps etc.

You have a side-necked African tortoise and using the right medium will help your tortoise a lot. The canister filter is the only downside and it was totally my struggle because I didn't order enough so I had to order more. This bio media is much better than the ceramic rings found in most canister filters on the market. I use zoo med Turtle Clean 50 and it works 10x better with this carrier and just a little bit which says a lot. Thank you very much Wasserkunst, I have never been wrong with…

This is my first time using any of the natural biocarrier options, but I went with this one. To be honest it only works for me. I haven't tried other options like matrix, bioblock or live rock etc. Most of my filtration needs are met with various types of sponge filter media and biobeads, but I still need more filtration to deal with some overfilling and a few splashes of ammonia here and there. I can't comment on whether these other products are better or worse, but after using them for a year
