Questions & Answers

Do we need a net bag for it or just put it in the filter like that?
Answer by ChewyNov 09, 2017
Remove the protective plastic bag and rinse thoroughly with terrarium-safe, chlorine-free water. Place directly into media basket or filter chamber, depending on canister filter style. For optimal filtration, place at the end of the filtration process.

Can these rings be used in the refillable media cartridges that go in the Biowheel Penguin 350 hang-on filter? If so, do you recommend this over loose carbon?
Answer by ChewyMar 27, 2018
This product is intended to be placed directly into media basket or filter chamber, depending on canister filter style.

It states this product reduces ammonia..is there any proof it actually reduces ammonia?
Answer by ChewyJul 24, 2019
The manufacturer uses extensive research and development in production of their products. The bacteria colonies living in and on the biofilter media act as a nitrifying bacteria farm, releasing a steady supply of new beneficial bacteria to recolonize the entire aquarium.

I have a fluval 404 will these work. If so where should they be place at the top or bottom of the baskets?
Answer by ChewyMay 21, 2018
This product is suitable for all external filters. Place directly into media basket or filter chamber, depending on canister filter style. For optimal filtration, place at the end of the filtration process.

Great Find

I needed filter media for a relatively expensive filter I'd purchased last year that is no longer manufactured and they do not off any replacement media, took a chance on this and it worked out perfectly at a very reasonable price.

useful but

will definitely change the ph of your tank when first introducing, so I would recommend daily monitoring for the first two weeks at least especially if using for a goldfish tank, as their slime coats are sensitive to lower ph. Great value. Don’t forget to rinse them

Great prices!

The selection and prices can't be beat on Chewy! As a science teacher with a lot of classroom pets to take care of, I appreciate it. Fluval is my go to brand for aquarium supplies for sure.

Turtles are gross

I have two red ear sliders and the tank has been a struggle, trying to keep it clean. This has helped a lot

Anything to improve the water in the tank is good for the fish!

Great for canister tanks

These are a great deal for the price and are a one time purchase so you can’t go wrong. I rinse them in a bucket with aquarium water after each water change and have never had any problems.

great bio filter media

I usually use this product for my aquarium, but I had decided to change to a different bio media when I couldn't find it at the store. After 2 months, I noticed my fish weren't doing so well. So I changed back and they are healthy again.

Love these!

I love these things. They are bigger than I had expected, but I have them placed in my HOB filter and it's doing wonders for my tank. Glad I got these. Very satisfied with my purchase.

Perfect for large tanks and aquatic life that produces large volumes of waste. I use this in my turtle tank and it keeps it clean for a couple months in addition the other filter media.
