Product Description
The ReefSys series includes a sump and two filter socks. To optimize the performance of your sump filter, it is essential to use appropriate media that efficiently handles waste processing.
To streamline your selection process, we have assembled a range of media identified as the most effective for this aquarium model. A successful filtration system depends on integrating mechanical, biological, and chemical media, and here are our top choices.
While the sump provides space for additional media, this set includes the core components necessary to get started effectively.
Mechanical Media
Kockney Koi 3 Foam Filter Sponge Set (18"x 25")
The Kockney Koi Foam Filter Sponge Set includes three foam sheets made from aquatic-grade foam for various branded filters. Easily cut to fit your filter, they provide coarse, medium, and fine filtration options. The egg box design traps large debris effectively, helping keep your water clear. Use them with filter wadding for optimal water quality.
Kockney Koi Filter Wadding Sheet (18"x 25")
Kockney Koi Filter Wadding is a fine poly wool that helps polish aquarium water by removing small debris, keeping your water clear.
Biologcal Media
Evolution Aqua K1 Media 3L
K1 Micro is made for bead filters, pond filters, and aquariums. Its wheel shape offers a large surface area for bacteria to grow, helping break down waste in the water. This supports a healthy balance in your pond, keeping fish healthy and water clear.
NT Labs Filter Media Bags
Filter Media Bags are fine mesh polyester bags perfect for holding filter media like K1. Just fill a bag with your chosen media, rinse it under water, and place it in your filter. The bag holds the media to prevent it from moving freely within your sump, while the fine mesh still permits water to flow through.
Chemical Media
Fluval Aquarium Activated Carbon 3 x 100g (2 x Packs)
This high-quality, low-ash carbon effectively removes heavy metals, odors, discoloration, and toxins from aquarium water. It offers a large surface area to trap impurities without raising phosphate levels, leaving your water clear and sparkling. Presented in a handy 3-pack of 100g sachets, each can be easily removed and replaced when exhausted.
