Trim it slightly oversized so it seats firmly against the tray edges rather than leaving gaps water can bypass through.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSuitable for, and not suitable for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable as the final mechanical polishing stage in freshwater and marine filters of any type. Not intended as the sole filtration stage on a heavily stocked tank — run it after coarse sponge or floss media, since a clean polyfiber pad clogs quickly if it's catching large debris as well as fine particulate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare and maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBioscape doesn't publish a fixed replacement interval for this pad — in practice, rinse it in tank water during routine filter maintenance and replace the trimmed piece once it's visibly grey, compacted or slow to pass water, rather than to a set schedule. Because it's supplied as a full sheet, a single purchase covers several replacement cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCovered against manufacturing defects under Bioscape's warranty, in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCan I rinse and reuse it, or does it need replacing each time?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou can rinse it in tank water a few times while it still passes water freely. Once it's compacted, discoloured grey-brown or restricting flow, cut a fresh piece from the sheet rather than continuing to rinse it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhere in the filter should it go?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eLast in the flow path, after any coarse sponge or floss stage. It's a polishing media — putting it first means it clogs on debris a coarser pad should be catching.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIs one sheet enough for more than one filter?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. At 25 x 45 cm it's larger than most single filter trays, so most buyers cut several replacement pads from one sheet over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWill it work in a marine or reef tank?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes — it's an inert polyester fibre that's safe for both freshwater and marine setups and won't affect salinity or water chemistry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bioscape","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54774334685475,"sku":"BIS24","price":10.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/files\/BIS24_6.jpg?v=1782868966","url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/bioscape-bioscape-polyfiber-filter-pad-25-x-45cm","provider":"Nicks Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
