Frequently Asked Questions about Aquarium Filter Media
Do I need filter media for my aquarium?
You do need filter media for your aquarium. Filters are essential to the health of your tank, and different filter media perform a variety of functions. Mechanical media filter out particles and debris to keep the water clean. Biological filtration media support colonies of beneficial bacteria that break down toxins in the water. Chemical media help remove toxins and change water chemistry. Many aquarists use all three together to ensure the water stays safe and healthy for fish.
Where do I put filter media in my fish tank?
You put filter media inside the filter for your fish tank. Many filters let you customize your filtration using different types of fish tank filter media. Others come with their own filter media that you will need to replace periodically. Check the directions for your aquarium filter to learn what kind of filtration media it takes and how to properly replace the filter media.
How often should I change the filter media in my aquarium?
You should change the filter media in your aquarium as often as necessary to maintain healthy water conditions. The frequency will vary depending on things like the bio-load of the tank, maintenance, feeding amounts and what kind of filtration media you are using. Mechanical media like sponges should be changed when they can no longer be rinsed properly, usually after 3 to 6 months. Chemical media should usually be replaced every 1 to 2 months, on average. Biological media houses living bacteria colonies and can last for many years, so you shouldn't need to replace it very often. Check the instructions on your filter media to learn how and when to clean it and for guidance on how often it should be replaced.
Which filter media is best for fish tanks?
The best filter media for your fish tank will vary based on things like the type of tank you have, how big it is, and how many fish live in it. Generally speaking, however, the best filter media for most fish tanks is a combination of mechanical, biological and chemical filtration media. Most modern filters incorporate all three of these filtration media to keep your tank water clean and healthy for your fish.
