Our Carbon-Infused Media Pads are great for removing discoloration, toxic waste chemicals, medication, and odors from your aquarium water. When added to your filter, it also helps to polish and clarify the water in your tank. This filter pad works similarly to loose activated carbon media but is much easier to handle and manage. It can easily be be cut down to the size of your filter for a perfect fit.
Chemical Filtration for Impurities and Odors
Chemical filtration has the ability to remove pollutants and certain chemicals from the water. Rather than use loose granules of activated carbon, we prefer these carbon-infused media pads because they are easier to handle, can be cut down to a custom size, and provide increased mechanical filtration for straining debris from the water.
Customizable to Fit Any Filter
Whether you have a hang-on-back, canister, or sump filter, this carbon filter pad can fit them all. Just grab a pair of scissors and cut the sponge into the right shape. When the chemical filtration is used up, simply dispose of the old filter media and cut out a new section from the pad to use.
Even if you’re not looking for the carbon part, this pad is part of the trifecta of mechanical filtration. I nestle it between the cut to fit ACO coarse pad and ACO fine pad to give me a clean and clear tank. Best part - it isn’t full of carbon dust! Anyone who has used loose carbon knows what I mean. You rinse and rinse and still see little particles in your water. No dust. No fuss. Yet another cost effective, quality product from Cory and company!

So far Good!
I installed the carbon infused media pad in my hang on the back filters to help control nitrate levels. So far it’s working. Levels have dropped.

Nice!
I never do reviews but they offered me 5% off if I gave my opinions so here you are. They are easy to cut to shape and it’s a good amount to. Filled my oase filtersmart 300 with plenty left over. Would recommend!

Great so far!
The pad was sturdy but easy to cut. I am using it to replace the plastic framed charcoal cartridge for the Aqueon Quietflow. Less plastic to throw away I figured.
