I have a Magniflow 220 canister, would this fit well in the trays?


I have an aqueon 75 hob filter. Can i just stuff this in there and it will work the same?

Answer by ChewyJun 08, 2018
This product is intended for use with API canister filters.

What are the dimensions of the bags?

Answer by ChewyApr 20, 2018
The actual pouch is 7 x 7 inches square, but because of the media, the final dimensions are 7 x 6.5 inches. This pouch is sized to sit nicely in one of the baskets of the Filstar canister filters. All of the Size 6 pouches (Nitra-zorb, Phos-zorb, BioChem-zorb, Activated carbon, etc) will be this size. This pouch does not have any stiffness to it and so can easily be placed in the back of a hang-on-back filter or other sizes of a canister filter. If the filter is very small, the pouch can be cut open and partial contents can be put into a small filter sock.

Can you use this in salt water tank?

Answer by ChewyApr 30, 2021
This product should not be used in a salt water tank. If added to a salt water tank, nitrite and ammonia will be released instead of being absorbed.

Pricey but worth it.

Been using these for YEARS. They remove harmful nitrates etc and help keep water clean and toxin free.

Work great

Does help to decrease nitrates. I still needed to do water changes. I needed to use this for awhile and recharged as per instructions.

Good results, bad filter bag

This product removed all nitrites from my established tank. Still working on nitrates. Unfortunately, the first bag tore when removing from my tank so I can't recharge/reuse

This product removed all nitrites from my established tank. Still working on nitrates. Unfortunately, the first bag tore when removing from my tank so I can't recharge/reuse it. The 2nd bag (I ordered 2) was torn out of the package so I had to put it in a different filter bag. Hope it works. I agree with another reviewer, what a mess! While it does work, the product could use big improvements.

Great product

It’s difficult to find a specific a good product to help rid your tank of high Nitrate levels. But this did the job along with persistent water changes
