FAQ I Everything you need to know

How do I install this filter cotton?

Cut it to the shape you need, place it inside your filter, and make sure water flows through it evenly.

Can I use it in a small aquarium?

Yes. Trim it down to the size you need and fit it into your small tank filter easily.

Does it change water color or smell?

No. It simply catches debris and helps keep water looking clean.

Is it good for aquaponics systems?

Yes. It helps keep water clear, which supports healthy plant and fish balance.

Will it slow down my filter flow?

If kept clean, it allows smooth water flow. Rinse it when it starts to look clogged.

Can I stack multiple layers?

Yes. Many hobbyists stack pieces for stronger filtration, depending on their tank needs.

How do I clean it?

Just rinse gently in tank water during routine care. Avoid harsh scrubbing.

Does it help reduce algae?

It helps keep water cleaner, which may make algae easier to manage, but it doesn’t remove it directly.

Is it compatible with hang-on-back and canister filters?

Yes. You can trim the cotton to work with both types and more.
