Foam Filter Media

Foam Filter Media

An Aquarium is a mini ecosystem in itself, which encloses different type of life forms within its confines. It is therefore, important that the quality of water, its hygiene level, nutrition level, etc., all are at the desired level. Aquarium Filters are one of the steps directed towards the maintenance of an aquarium. The soul of these filters is Aquarium Filter Media, which is the actual site of filtration in a filter. One such category of Filter Media is Foam Filter Media, which due to its porosity, can filter out all or most of the tiny pieces of metabolic wastes and other water pollutants present in a Marine Aquarium. In addition, many Foam Filter Media hold beneficial Nitrifying Bacteria, which help decompose harmful Nitrites and many other Toxic Wastes present in the tank. As a result, Foam Filter Media act as Biological and Mechanical filter to clean and aerate the aquarium, thereby benefiting the quality of life therein. Fresh Marine brings to you a wide range of quintessential and effective Foam Filter Media. Some of the top sellers are discussed here.
