FAQs

Can I use these for marine or tropical tanks?

While intended for ponds, they can be used for freshwater aquariums, provided they are rinsed thoroughly before first use.

How often should I replace these foams?

Replace the foams when they begin to lose their physical structure or if rinsing no longer clears the accumulated debris.

Why are there different colors?

The foams are graded by density (fine, medium, coarse). Colors may vary by manufacturer batch, but the physical density grading remains consistent.

Can these be washed in a washing machine?

No, you should never use a washing machine or detergents. Only rinse with non-chlorinated pond water.

Are these safe for fish?

Yes, these are made from aquarium-safe foam materials that do not leach harmful chemicals into the water.

Troubleshooting

Water flow is restricted through the filter

The filter foam is likely saturated with debris. Remove and rinse the sponges in a bucket of pond water.

Sponges do not fit perfectly in the filter box

Use a sharp pair of scissors or a craft knife to trim the foam slightly smaller than the filter bay to ensure a snug but manageable fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High surface area design improves filtration efficiency
  • Versatile size allows for custom trimming to fit most filter types
  • Three-grade system handles mechanical and biological waste effectively
  • Cost-effective bulk pack ensures long-term supply

Cons

  • Requires manual effort to cut to size
  • Foam colors may vary depending on availability
  • Large pads may be difficult to handle in very small filter compartments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up, first measure your filter compartment using your current filter media as a template. Lay the Pisces foam on a flat surface and use sharp shears or a utility knife to cut the material to the required dimensions. When installing, place the coarse foam at the water intake point, followed by the medium and fine layers. For maintenance, rinse the pads periodically in a bucket filled with pond water rather than tap water; the chlorine in tap water will destroy the beneficial bacteria colonies living within the foam cells.
