Acurel Infused Media Pad – Phosphate Reducing – 10 in x 18 in

 

The Acurel Infused Media Pad is a product designed to help prevent algae outbreaks in aquariums or ponds by reducing high phosphate levels. Phosphates are a common nutrient for algae growth, and by removing them from the water, you can help control algae growth and maintain clearer water.

These media pads are specially infused with particles that can absorb phosphates from the water. The pads are made of a durable poly fiber material that is thicker and more rigid compared to other pads on the market. This design allows the pads to fit tightly, maintain their shape over time, and provide more effective filtration. Additionally, the longevity of the pads is increased, ensuring they last longer before needing replacement.

By using the Acurel Infused Media Pad, you can help maintain a healthier aquatic environment by reducing phosphate levels and minimizing the risk of algae outbreaks.

 

 

To use the Acurel Infused Media Pad for phosphate reduction in your aquarium or pond, follow these steps:

 

Determine the appropriate size: The media pad comes in a size of 10 inches x 18 inches. Measure your filtration unit or desired area to determine the required size of the pad.

Cut the media pad: Using scissors or a sharp knife, cut the media pad to the appropriate size that fits your filtration unit or desired area. Ensure the pad is cut to the proper dimensions for optimal coverage and efficiency.

Install the media pad: Place the cut media pad in your aquarium or pond filtration unit. The pad can be used with various types of filters such as hang-on filters, canister filters, top filters, internal filters, wet/dry filters, and more. Insert the pad according to the manufacturer’s instructions for your specific filtration unit.

Monitor and replace: Monitor the pad regularly to check its effectiveness. Over time, the pad will absorb phosphates and may become saturated. When the pad appears heavily discolored or when phosphate levels start to rise again, it is time to replace the pad with a new one.

Note: It is essential to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations for the specific product you are using. Additionally, maintaining proper water parameters and regular water changes are crucial for overall aquarium or pond health.
