Match the media to your filter

Check your exact filter model, generation, part number and pack contents before ordering. The range includes listings for selected 06/07 Series and FX canister filters, but pads and cartridges are not interchangeable across every model. Confirm the specified fit and dimensions on each product.

Select media according to its purpose and your aquarium's needs. Check freshwater or marine suitability for the exact product, particularly ammonia-removal and blended chemical media. Biological media is not an instant-cycle guarantee, and chemical media does not replace water testing or routine aquarium maintenance.

Follow the filter manufacturer's guidance for media placement, cleaning and replacement. Activated carbon can remove medications, so check treatment instructions before using it during a course of aquarium medication. Also compare bag dimensions and media quantity with the space available in your filter.
