Pore Density For Every Application
Mechanical filtration refers to sponge, foam, and polishing pads that physically strain out debris from the water, much like a coffee filter. Biological filtration refers to the capacity of a filter media to hold beneficial bacteria to process toxic ammonia and nitrite into less toxic nitrate via the nitrogen cycle. These easy-to-clean filter optimizing pads let you choose how much mechanical filtration you want while also providing excellent biological filtration at the same time. Fine sponge will pick up smaller particles and will need to be cleaned more frequently, while larger sponges need less frequent cleaning, but will only pick up the larger particles.
