  • Filter Media: Chemical Filtration
    We carry a number of chemical filtration products on this page. Chemical filtration is the removal of dissolved substances from the water.

    Activated Carbon
    Chemical filtration is most commonly accomplished by means of activated carbon. The carbon's micro-porous structure absorbs dissolved organics, chloramines, fish odors, toxic metals, toxic gases and growth inhibiting enzymes. We carry the Inland Seas, Kent Marine and ESV activated carbon.

    Phosphate & Nitrate Removers
    Besides activated carbon, a wide variety of resins, minerals, and other media have been employed by aquarists in an effort to remove either specific ions like phosphate or a wide range of largely unidentified substances from aquarium water. As you might guess, the Kent Marine Nitrate Sponge removes nitrate, and the Kent Marine Phosphate Sponge removes phosphate. Two Little Fishies PhosBan can be used by itself to remove phosphate, or it can be used in the Two Little Fishies PhosBan Reactor.

    Media Bags
    Boyds Chemi-Pure comes pre-bagged inside the jar. All other products need to be bagged using one of the Emperor or South Ocean Five media bags at the end of this section. All bags have ties sewn into the top for easy closure.

    Poly-Bio-Marine Poly Filters
    The Poly-Bio-Marine Poly Filters are pads that absorb and adsorb contaminants and other toxic materials that are found in nature or added to fresh and salt water with or without fish and invertebrates. Medication added to aquariums for treatment of diseased fish will automatically be removed by the Poly Filter (after serving their intended purpose). The pads are placed in any filter in a place where chemical filtration media is intended (generally, after the larger sediment has been filtered out).

      and outperforms competing non-spherical phosphate-adsorbent media
    • Recommended usage is 2 g of Extrax Phos per 1 US-gallon (3.8 L) in aquarium; 600 grams
      will adsorb up to 20 mg/L phosphate in 300 US-gallons (1,136 L)
