Pisces Live Filter Media – Quartz Rings
Aqua Natural’s Live Filter Media are designed to jumpstart the nitrogen cycle in both new and established aquariums. Each media type is pre-colonized with live nitrifying bacteria and packaged in water to preserve bacterial health—so you can establish your biofiltration system safely and effectively from day one.
Unlike transferring rocks or filter media from older tanks—which can carry pests, algae, or disease—this is a clean, controlled solution that accelerates the cycling process without the risk.
Suitable for all freshwater and saltwater systems and compatible with any filter brand or style.

I used this media in my 20-gallon freshwater tank and noticed cleaner water within a week. The fish seemed more active and the ammonia levels dropped quickly. No algae issues either. Highly recommended for new aquariums.
Wanda Gibson –
Great product for beginners. The bacteria were active from day one. I didn’t have to wait weeks for the tank to cycle. My shrimp and fish are thriving now.
Boris Kelly –
Works well in a saltwater setup. The media fits nicely in my canister filter. A bit more expensive than regular filter media, but the results justify the cost.

I replaced old filter media with this and saw a significant improvement in water clarity. No need to worry about transferring bacteria from old tanks. Very reliable.
