  • 2 LAYERS EQUALS CLEAR WATER: This unique 2 Layers in 1 filter media pad combines a typical aquarium filter pad with a water polishing pad. The top layer’s open fiber construction traps LARGER PARTICLES while the bottom layer's dense fiber network TRAPS FINER PARTICLES, working together to produce clean, clear water in your aquarium.
  • SEE THE DIFFERENCE: When you clean this true dual density filter pad, see how much more debris it traps compared to other aquarium media pads. Your fish filter, turtle filter, and all aquatic pets filters will produce clearer water.
  • CUT TO FIT: FilterFirst filter media aquarium pads can easily be cut to fit your filter. Our unique poly filter pad is PERFECT FOR FRESHWATER, REEF TANKS OR SALTWATER aquariums. Ideal filter pads for aquarium wet dry filters, and will also work in your sump, canister filter media, aquaponic system, and more. They’re also perfect as a turtle tank filter!
  • SAFE AND DURABLE: Our aquarium filter floss pad is constructed of durable polyester fibers making it strong and durable enough to be rinsed and reused several times before needing to be replaced. This dual density filter roll works great for indoor ponds or small outdoor ponds. For larger ponds use our Koi Pond filter media pads exclusively made for ponds and water gardens.
  • TIP: Water should flow through the looser fiber side of our FilterFirst pad first, capturing larger debris before reaching the tightly woven section. Made without dyes in USA!

Product Description

Our 2 layer aquarium filter floss roll is the top choice for our professional fish keepers
filter for fish tanks aquarium filter media pad cut to fit filter media for aquarium filter fiber

This 3rd generation dual layer aquarium filter pad is even thicker than before. The top layer traps large debris while the lower layer traps fine debris. Making it an ideal aquarium polyfill for aquarium filter. This filter floss for fish tanks even keeps goldfish tank water crystal clear.

The video showcases the product in use.The video guides you through product setup.The video compares multiple products.The video shows the product being unpacked.

This poly filter floss pad works perfectly in viquariums, tropical fish and discus aquariums, african cichlid tanks, live planted tanks, goldfish tanks, amphibian tanks, shrimp tanks, indoor and small outdoor ponds, and water gardens.

  • The water should flow through the open or looser fiber side of our premium pad first. This will allow the larger debris to be trapped before entering the tight weaved lower section of the pad.

  • Rinse the filter pad every two weeks and replace them monthly during a water change. The more often you change filter pads the better your water quality; filter pads remove organic solids before they have a chance to further break down.

  • Your aquarium water should flow first through the FilterFirst pad to remove small to large particles from the water, then through the polishing pad to remove fine particles. This layering method will increase the useful life of your polishing pad.

  • Take your original filter pad which came with the canister filter and cut out a piece of card board the exact size and shape. Now put the cardboard on our FilterFirst roll, use a pair of scissors and cut around the cardboard template.

  • No, you do not need to remove our Premium filter pad when medicating your fish. Our filter pad does not remove any medication or other chemicals from the water. The pad only traps debris floating in the water.

Wow! Never have I been able to get/keep such clear water! Wish I had bought sooner!
So i 've had this aquarium for maybe 15 yrs and have never really been able to get crystal clear water. Even after large water changes. Unfortunately, recently it had become more and more of a issue cuz i got koi, they got big, and they re dirty fish. Went as far as was doing daily water changes to try and keep up. Sadly, feel this led to the death of one of my babies. Bright Side: Death of my Baby got me even more motivated to not give up on fish. Beforehand I was just trying to keep them from living in their own muck (sidenote: I thought I'd have them in a pond in my own house but 2020 hit and that kinda sent those plans out the window). Now, because I feel guilty about klilling my remaining koi's buddy, I am raising some new friends for him/her. Part of that process was trying to solve the dirty water problem and thannks to an online fish forum, we stumbled upon this filter floss. Been using it for more than a week now, i think. Same pads. I used to wash my filters in the sink but read up on how you should instead wash them in their own water (fish tank water) and basically only aim for getting the big stuff off the sides. Very important to promote the "good bacterial" growth. But in all my years, nothing as clear as this water and the fish seem happier(moving around more and eating more/different foods). Trying to pair this with a few plants but the workhorse is def' the Filter Floss. If you re on the fence, get this Floss. It will make your fish happier and healthier; it will lead to less anxiety about tank maintenance; you will enjoy your fish tank even more. Remember to: Clean filters in aquarium water and NOT tap water; Aim for trying to promote good bacteria and healthy tank ecosystem; Spread the word so that maybe you can help save someone else from the heartache of losing fish from bad water. Hope this helps someone! GLTA!

    I tried this filtration for the first time in two hangback filter systems on ten gallon freshwater aquariums for several months. They filter the water very nicely and the clarity is clear. Taking a cardboard template of the size needed for the hangback, The large roll of filter is then cut to size so that is no waste and filtering is exact. I have noticed that aquarium water is screened by the entire filter, and not a section of it. The added polishing mesh is a bonus since buying a separate filter is not needed.

    Pattern Name: 12 Inch Wide (Skinny)Size: 72 Inch LongVerified Purchase
    I've been running fish tanks for years. And I admit, tanks are an expensive hobby. And because of that, I used to buy cheaper filter floss. I must've been feeling flush because I decided to give this a try.

    I never thought I'd feel this way about a filter floss. But it's incredible. It's not super thick, but it's capture rate is very high. I really love this stuff, and I'm so glad I have it a shot. I've used their 50 micron polishing pad for years, but I've since replaced it with a cut to fit furnace filter media that seems to capture a little better. For some reason, the 50 micron polishing pad isn't as effective as other 50 micron filter media I've used. But it's still a great pad and has it's place.

    But I've found a better way to polish a tank. I have an Amazonian tank that's heavily planted, which means I have a high dissolved organics problem (lots of driftwood, plants, and botanicals breaking down). Most of that stuff passes right through floss. And while this floss captures *so* much better than any others I've used, I also use a "cut to fit" air filter media from Merv that's intended for use in air filters and furnaces. I am also reviewing that media, and you can find it on my profile if you're interested.

    I place the Merv media between two pieces of this floss. The Merv media needs to be changed much more frequently, but captures much smaller particles that otherwise wouldn't be caught. It also can't be used alone because it's very thin and has no rigidity, so it needs to be placed thoughtfully. In my case, it works great between two pieces of this floss. I use this combo in both of my Amazon tanks and in my shrimp tank. It's a serious game changer.

    If I really need a polished look, or my organic load is really high, I'll use Acurel's clarifier (never in my shrimp tank). And if I'm worried about the levels of my good bacteria, I'll add good bacteria, and then a small dose of clarifier. This will not only polish the tank, but clump the bacteria with the clarifier, which makes it kinda sticky, and send it right to the filter where it's most useful. If you do this, make sure you turn off your UV sterilizer if you have one. Leave it off for a few days to let the bacteria establish itself. Most people don't realize the bacteria you add to tanks isn't active immediately. It's in a spore stage and it takes a few days for it to "wake up" and establish itself.

    This floss is a great general floss. It certainly polishes better than most. And their 50 micron pad is also great, but I wish the capture rate was higher. Next time I swap media, I might place the 50 micron polishing pad just before the furnace media, just to give it longevity (all sandwiched between this floss). In all, this is a great company producing a great product. And even though it seems expensive, it's much more effective.

    To preface I have a six gallon single betta tank. It's an okay price for the amount of filter material you get, easy to cut but I've had to double up on the amount of material (two layers of each) To keep my tank from getting murky every other day and that's with weekly water changes. I think if paired with a different filter it would be a great addition to any tank filter.

    This is a really great filter media. I use it in an above tank wet-dry filter for both mechanical and bio filtration. I only have to replace the top layer when it gets dirty, while the lower layers stay colonized with beneficial bacteria and free of debris. It has a good density and stiffness for a media. Filter floss that is too soft and fluffy becomes packed down as soon as water begins to flow through it, but this bonded media keeps it shape much better. This is especially important with a wet-dry filter where I want it to resist compressing, because the air space withing the media stack is needed to optimize oxygenation and elimination of ammonia. At the same time it is flexible enough to cut easily with ordinary scissors and bend to any shape needed.

    It also is perfect to disperse water flow through a filter so that channeling does not result in dead spaces in the media. One side of the media is slightly stiffer and more dense than the softer side. I have water flow into the soft side, and then the more dense side ensures that the flow spreads out and does not go straight through lower layers.

    Many DIY'ers suggest alternatives to traditional filter media such as plastic pot scrubbers or fluffy bath sponges. This is cheaper than those "cost saving alternatives", it works much better, and it is easy to cut and fit for any shape needed. For my filters, I make a "sandwich" of generic ceramic rings between two layers of this poly material, which I've found to be the best balance of effectiveness and affordability.
