Filter Foams & Media
Replacement foams, bio balls, ceramic rings and filter pads for aquarium filters.
Buying guide
Your filter does three jobs, and matching the media to each is what keeps a tank steady. Foams handle the mechanical stage and rinse out in tank water to go back in again and again; ceramic and sintered media house the biological bacteria and rarely need renewing; carbon and resins are the chemical stage designed to be swapped out. Refresh one part at a time, a few weeks apart, and the bacteria keep working throughout. All three stages are stocked here.

Aquarium Filter Media & Foams at AllPetSolutions
Keep your fish tank water clean and your flowing water at high quality with our broad range of filter sponges, foams and filter media. Most filters will take standard foam cut down to fit, which often does the same job as a branded cartridge for less outlay. Choosing between the types comes down to what your filter is short of: coarse foam to trap debris, ceramic or sintered media to house bacteria, and carbon or resin where you want to strip out tannins, odours or leftover medication.
