Aqua One Nitrite & Nitrate Filter Pad
Aqua One Filter Pads give the user the ability to cut and shape their pads to suit any filtration system, including: Hang on Filters, Canister Filters, Trickle/Mini Reef Systems, Top Filters, Internal Filters, Pond Filters and other Aquarium and Pond filtration systems.
The Aqua One Nitrate/Nitrite Pad is a tightly woven chemical filter pad which helps to absorb Nitrite (NO2) and Nitrate (NO3). Nitrate can cause kidney, liver and eye problems for fish, as well as suppress their appetite and prevent their gills from absorbing oxygen from the water. The use of a Nitrate/Nitrite pad can help reduce the frequency of water changes.
It is essential you replace the Nitrate/Nitrite pad after 4-6 weeks. The microscopic pores in the pad allow for effective absorption of harmful substances.

I’ve used this pad in my 20-gallon freshwater tank for three months. The water quality has improved noticeably. My fish seem more active and their color has brightened. I cut it to fit my canister filter perfectly and it fits well without any gaps.

The pad works well for reducing nitrate levels. I noticed a drop in nitrate readings after a week of use. It’s easy to install and fits my hang-on filter. I plan to replace it in about five weeks as recommended.

Great product for a small reef tank. I used it with a trickle system and saw a clear improvement in water clarity. The pad is durable and the nitrite levels dropped quickly. I cut it to match the filter opening exactly.
