Filter Media Mats
Great product, fast delivery!

Great course media that will last forever
Ordered this stuff because I was tired of having to replace the media in my 55 gallon drum filter when it would clog or break down.When this first came I couldnt believe how rigid it was. I was able to use a small hand saw to cut the pads to fit the barrel and still have plenty left to use for other stuff. So far so good. Pricey when compared to others but definitely durable enough to last way longer.

Makes a great Pond Filter

Great layers of filters but not easy to clean
The fine filters get very heavy when cleaning is needed and then require a lot of water to clean. However they do a great job keeping the water clean.

Awesome Filter Pad
Ok if you own an AOI aquarium get the gray size. Your filter socks will last a few weeks with this media and works sweet as a fish, fry, shrimp guard.
