The Aquarium Co-Op Water Polishing Filter Pad is a fine filter floss designed to remove the finest particulate from your water column. It clears tank cloudiness for visibly clearer water. Available as a thick woven pad, it easily cuts down to size for a custom fit inside any filter.
Crystal Clear Water
Mechanical filtration refers to sponge, foam, and polishing pads that physically strain out debris from the water, much like a coffee filter. Use a coarse sponge pad to remove larger debris (like dead leaves) and then add this filter floss pad to remove the finer particles.
Customizable to Fit Any Filter
Whether you have a hang-on-back, canister, or sump filter, this filter floss pad can fit them all. Just grab a pair of scissors and cut the pad into the right shape. When the filter pad is completely clogged up, simply dispose of the old filter media and cut out a new section from the pad to use.
Every item I have ever purchased from Aquarium Co- op has been outstanding
However this pad just didn't work out on my over the back filter. The water had a hard time passing through and I even had to take out two of the 4 black course filters I have in there
I reached out via email and they tried to help me, she explained it was made of very fine material and it might take a few days to really polish the water.
However after a few days no change and it caused my filter water to over flow the intake tube area resulting in cloudy water.
I'm not sure what the microns are in this pad but I ended up switching to a 50 micron pad and the water and flow are back to normal.
Not sure why it doesn't work, but I will continue to purchase other products as needed

Great filter!
Not only are my filters working more efficiently, the water in my tanks is crystal clear! Before the change it would take 4-5 days for the water to clear up after adding crushed coral. Now it took 3 days. I love that I can rinse and reuse, too.

Water polisher
This filter pad is awesome & for the price you can't go wrong! If crystal clear water is what your looking for this is definitely the way to go. It's totally customizable so it can be used in basically any HOB filter on the market. It made a big difference in my tanks & I highly recommend trying this out first before wasting money on other things.

Cheap and handy
These are great. They clean the glass with one pass and are great to get into the nooks and cranny’s that my scraper can’t get. I cut the pads in half to get longer use out of 1 3 pack

Works Great
I had a good and clear tank to start with, but added the polishing filter pad. I'm amazed at the appearance of the polishing pad and what it has trapped. There is less loose debris at the back of the tank under the filter media. (I have a Uniquarium.) Glad I tried it.

Polishing Filter Pad
Just what I needed to clear up some particulate in the water. Easy to cut and fit to my hang on back filter. The active filtering pad is also easy to pull out and squeeze out some beneficial bacteria into a new tank setup to start up the beneficial bacteria.
