Xpression Pet Aquarium Bio-Media Filter sku-5819710752

Xpression Pet Aquarium Bio-Media, sku-5819710752, is listed under All Fish Tanks and Supplies in the size 450 mL (2 x 225 ct); UPC 695990785008. The source describes Blue Life Clear FX Pro filter media for freshwater and saltwater aquariums.

Its blend of granular activated carbon, hybrid phosphate resin and organic scavenger resin is intended to clear water, support coral and plant growth, control ammonia, nitrites and nitrates, remove organic pollutants and leave essential trace elements.

The coal-based carbon is described as durable, high in surface area and low in ash, with a claim that it will not cause hole-in-the-head or lateral line disease. The beaded phosphate resin is designed not to clump, clog or release phosphate when full; the source says it absorbs phosphate in half the time of standard GFO.

The macro-porous scavenger resin resists clogging and works with the carbon to control organics. The media also removes odors, tannins, phenols, gases, pollutants, CO2, phosphates (PO4), silicates (SIO2), copper, metals, nitrogenous organic waste, irritants and light-blocking impurities.

It is described as raising Redox (ORP), stabilizing pH without shocking fish, retaining captured organics after exhaustion and reducing the need for water changes. Place the mesh bag in a high-flow area of a canister filter or standard sump. Media lasts 4 months in saltwater and 6 months in freshwater; a heavy bio-load may require more frequent changes.

Dosage: 225 ml treats 30 gallons (113 L) saltwater or 60 gallons (227 L) freshwater. 450 ml treats 60 gallons (227 L) saltwater or 120 gallons (454 L) freshwater. 1800 ml treats 250 gallons (946 L) saltwater or 500 gallons (1893 L) freshwater.
