Aquatic Experts Aquarium Polishing Filter Pad – 100 Micron, 24" x 36" (2 Pack)

Crystal-clear water starts with the right polishing filter pad

Experience noticeably brighter display and clearer water with the Aquatic Experts Aquarium Polishing Filter Pad. This 100 micron pad uses a dense fiber network to capture fine to extra-fine particles that can cloud the aquarium, helping you achieve sparkle between cleanings without relying on chemical clarifiers. While results can vary with setup, many hobbyists notice improved clarity when this polishing pad sits in the filtration path during routine maintenance.

Designed for flexible installation, the pad measures 24 by 36 inches and is 1/8 inch thick. It can be cut to fit most wet/dry filters, sumps, and even some aquaponics configurations, making it a versatile addition to your filtration toolkit. Use it alone for polishing or layer it with other media to tailor conditioning and extend the interval between deeper cleans. The pad’s interwoven polyester fibers provide a sturdy, reliable base that can be washed and reused for ongoing value.
