What each cartridge does
- Water Foam Coarse – First-stage mechanical filtration. Open-cell sponge that catches larger debris before it reaches the finer media, protecting flow rate and preventing clogging.
- Water Foam 30 PPI – Medium mechanical filtration with higher pore density, capturing smaller particles while maintaining good water flow.
- Water Pad – Fine mechanical filtration using a soft, absorbent pad to trap fine suspended particles.
- Water Bio-Bact – Biological filtration media that supports beneficial bacteria growth, essential for breaking down ammonia and nitrites.
- Water Clear & Protection – Chemical and physical protection media that helps reduce cloudiness and stabilizes water quality.

Leah Graham –
Used this pack in my 55-gallon freshwater tank. The filter runs smoothly and water clarity improved noticeably within a week. The media doesn’t clog easily and the tank stays clean between cleanings.
Olivia Thomson –
Felt like a solid replacement after my previous filter media degraded. The water foam and pads caught debris well, and the biological media helped stabilize ammonia levels.
Robert Lawrence –
Installed the new pack after three months of use. The tank is now clearer, and I haven’t had any spikes in ammonia. The setup is easy and the media holds up well under daily fish activity.

Good value for the full set. The blue protection media helped reduce cloudiness, and the green bio-bact media supported bacterial growth. Would buy again for my next filter cycle.
