About This Item
This cut-to-fit activated carbon filter media pad is designed to improve water clarity across aquariums, terrariums, hydroponic systems, aquaponic setups, ponds, and water fountains. Measuring 18 x 10 in, the carbon-infused fiber matrix provides chemical and mechanical dual-stage filtration to trap micro and macro debris, excess food, and free-floating particulates while helping reduce odors, discoloration, and unwanted toxins. The thick, rigid construction holds its shape for a tighter fit and better water flow management, helping reduce premature clogging when placed in the path of flowing water in custom sumps / refugiums, hang-on filters, prefilter boxes, and pond filters. Compatible with Deep Blue Professional ADB41002 / Deep Blue Professional DB Activated Carbon Pad 18 x 10 in, it is safe for freshwater and marine aquaria and can be layered with other media such as micron pads, polyfiber pads, nitrate reducers, or ammonia reducers to tailor filtration. Replacing carbon pads regularly helps remove solid organic compounds before they break down and contribute to ammonia and nitrate buildup.
