Usage tips
Inspect the pad for wear and rinse before installation to remove any dust or residue from packaging. Install according to your model’s guidelines, replacing the pad when it starts to look worn or clogged. Treat this pad as a polishing step in your filtration routine rather than a standalone solution.
What to expect in your setup
When the pad is in place, you may notice a subtle improvement in the filter’s ability to tackle fine particulates. The micro-fine fibers work in concert with the rest of your media to contribute to a more balanced, aesthetically pleasing aquarium environment over time.
