There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Because these are so textured and allow for full water flow through colonization is very fast and you'll see the results of this product in fewer ammonia spikes as well as more stabilized water parameters. At this price they're beyond a great deal, plus this item is Prime eligible so add free shipping to boot.
My suggestion is to order more than you think you'll need - remember to rinse them in aquarium water not tap water. The same applies to filter maintenance always rinse any filter media in water taken from the tank the filter serves. This protects all the healthy bacteria while getting rid of the gunk. Using tap water will kill your colonization on contact.
Although Fluval states to replace these every six months, I can assure you after 40 years of keeping fish this only to sell more product. In fact ceramic media will last almost indefinitely so there's rarely a reason to replace them. They're also great for seeding a new aquarium filter and shortening the cycle period.
Next to the eheim splintered glass spheres this is one best media you can use - a great product at an incredibly deep discount.
