This pad is designed to absorb toxic ammonia from the aquarium and as a preventative measure to avoid ammonia spikes. Especially useful after moving an aquarium, doing a large cleaning on a tank, or a power outage has occurred where the the balance of the tank has been disrupted. They can easily be be cut down to the size of your filter for a perfect fit.
Chemical Filtration for Ammonia Removal
Chemical filtration has the ability to remove pollutants and certain chemicals from the water. To prevent toxic levels of ammonia from building up, you can preventatively install an ammonia filter pad to absorb the ammonia and keep your fish safe. Measure ammonia levels with test strips to make sure it stays at 0 ppm.
Customizable to Fit Any Filter
Whether you have a hang-on-back, canister, or sump filter, this ammonia 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.
It was great, I had a newly established tank that did not fully support the bioload, due to them being newer tanks. These sponges helped buy some time until it was fully cycled!

Great Value
This ammonia filter pad is perfect for saving money over the brand name pads. I recommend making a template of a brand name to help with cutting this pad.

Fantastic
Was easy to cut and install in my HOB. Added it out of caution while on vacation. Came home to healthy fish. I’d say it works.

This is great at keeping the ammonia low on my aquariums, and I just put a piece of it in the hang on the back filter and done

Very large
Image looks like a small pad but it’s actually quite large and folded. It can be cut to size for any filter, or wrapped around a sponge filter and secured with a rubber band. Great to put in the filters when going on vacation, just in case!

Ammonia Filter Pad
I use these as a top layer in my sump with two layers of Aquarium co-op polishing filters underneath. The combo works great and both styles of filter are very durable and long lasting. Cut to size makes for a perfect fit. Thanks, AC!
