Mega Filtra's multi-stage media stack means multiple wear items, and knowing exactly which replacement to order for which stage keeps maintenance simple instead of a guessing game. Sicce offers a matched replacement for every stage of the Mega Filtra media sequence.
The Full Replacement Lineup
- Pre-filter Sponges (2 units) — the first mechanical stage, catching the largest debris before it reaches the rest of the media stack.
- Biofoam Sponges (4 units) — biological media once the originals are spent.
- Lateral Blue Sponges (2 units) — mechanical filtration alongside the pre-filter stage.
- Aquamat Wool Sponges (4 units) — fine mechanical filtration once the originals clog.
- Bioker Replacement (2 units) — ceramic biological media restoring biological capacity.
- Hypercarbo Fast Replacement (2 units) — chemical filtration once the original carbon is spent.
- HyperZeo Replacement (2 units) — ammonia-adsorbing capacity once the original zeolite is spent.
Maintenance Tips
- Replace mechanical stages (pre-filter, lateral, wool) most frequently, since they clog fastest.
- Replace biological media less often and never all at once, to avoid disrupting your full bacterial colony.
- Replace chemical media (carbon, zeolite) on a set schedule regardless of visible appearance, since adsorption capacity exhausts before it looks "used up."
