A cycling tank facing an ammonia spike and a canister full of loose carbon or GFO call for two very different filtration solutions - SR Aquaristik covers both with a targeted filter pad and a media bag.
Addressing an Ammonia Spike
The Ammonia Remover filter pad is infused with ammonia-absorbing media in a thick, rigid poly-fiber pad that fits snugly for effective filtration, useful during cycling or after a sudden bioload increase when biological filtration hasn't caught up yet.
Containing Loose Media
The Filtration Media Bags (9in x 18in) are mesh bags for holding loose filter media - carbon, GFO, biomedia, or similar - inside a canister filter, sump, or reactor without it scattering loose through the compartment.
Setup Tips
- Use the Ammonia Remover pad proactively during cycling rather than only after a spike is already visible.
- Bag loose media before adding it to any filter compartment to keep it contained and easy to swap during maintenance.
- Rinse the media bag between uses if reusing it for a different type of loose media.
