Bio-Floss is designed to handle mechanical filtration by physically trapping detritus, supporting clearer water while helping the other media in the filter do their own jobs. It is made for routine media replenishment in compatible Cascade canister filters and is suitable for freshwater or saltwater aquariums.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat does Bio-Floss capture from aquarium water?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe poly fiber pads physically trap small particles of detritus as water passes through the filter. Capturing this material helps clear discoloration and reduce foul odors, and supports healthy, crystal-clear water in the aquarium. The filtration is mechanical: the pads catch particles rather than relying on a chemical treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExamples of trapped material include fish waste, uneaten food, and decayed aquarium plant matter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParticle capture helps keep detritus from clogging finer filter media.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill these pads fit my Cascade canister filter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The pads are made for Cascade 1200 and 1500 canister filters and fit directly into their media trays, so they do not need to be cut to size. Each white pad measures 8 x 6 x 1 in (20.32 x 15.24 x 2.54 cm). The six-pad package measures 6.25 x 3 x 9 in (15.875 x 7.62 x 22.86 cm).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackage contents: six replacement poly fiber floss pads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe stated age range is all life stages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I use the pads in freshwater and saltwater aquariums?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Bio-Floss is suitable for both freshwater and saltwater aquariums. In addition to catching debris, it provides a vehicle for the colonization of beneficial filtration, which helps regulate ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and phosphate levels. By helping prevent finer media from clogging, the pads also allow those media to perform their filtration tasks and help extend the lifespan of other media and the filter itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for mechanical filtration alongside other filter media.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps maintain the performance of finer media by limiting particle buildup on it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePenn-Plax Bio-Floss is suited to aquarium keepers replenishing media in a Cascade 1200 or 1500 canister filter, whether the aquarium is freshwater or saltwater.
