Phosphate pads are great for lowering your phosphate levels in your aquarium. Excess phosphates in the water column can cause algae growth and compromise fish health. Adding phosphate absorbing filter pads to your filter can ensure your tank remains healthy. They can easily be be cut down to the size of your filter for a perfect fit. Live plants prefer at least some phosphates be available in the water column, so this filter pad is best used in tanks with elevated phosphate levels.
Chemical Filtration for Phosphate Removal
Chemical filtration has the ability to remove pollutants and certain chemicals from the water. To prevent high levels of phosphate from building up, you can preventatively install an phosphate filter pad to absorb the phosphate and reduce algae growth. Measure phosphate levels with a phosphate test kit to make sure there is still enough to feed your plants.
Customizable to Fit Any Filter
Whether you have a hang-on-back, canister, or sump filter, this phosphate 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.
You pay less than buying the pre cut ones and you get way more

Works Great!
I had high phosphate levels for a while and just deep vacuuming the gravel wasn’t doing the trick for me-I put a few layers of this phosphate pad in a HOB filter and it really helped to quickly lower my phosphate level.

A giant pad
This will last for a while with my nano tank, another great product.

Shipping was super fast!
I was very impressed with how fast my order shipped! I would comment on the easy greens but it’s way too early to give an honest opinion! But anyone who sends a free sticker definitely gets extra thumbs up!
