Aquarium Systems Poly Media – Chemical Filtration Pad
Advanced Chemical Filtration with Colour-Changing Technology
Aquarium Systems Poly Media is a specialist chemical filtration pad designed to remove a wide range of unwanted contaminants from marine, reef and freshwater aquariums.
Unlike conventional mechanical filter pads, Poly Media uses absorption and adsorption to capture dissolved substances, including certain heavy metals, ammonia-related contaminants and organic pollutants.
Its distinctive colour-changing technology can also help indicate which types of contaminants have been captured.
