Suitable for both freshwater and saltwater aquariums, it extends filter life, reduces replacement frequency, and promotes beneficial bacterial growth for a healthier aquatic environment. ## Description Fluval Pre-Filter Media is designed to capture solid waste before it reaches other media. This prevents premature clogging of finer filters and extends their life, reducing media replacement frequency. Fluval Pre-Filter consists of inert, solid ceramic rings used to trap large and medium solid particles before they clog the finer sieves of the modules above. The diversified water flow allows establishment of biological activity on the surface of the rings, adding to the overall biological action on ammonia and nitrite. Fluval Pre-Filter Media is ideal for medium and coarse filtration, and suitable for both freshwater and marine aquariums.Fluval first broke onto the aquatic scene in 1975 by introducing the world’s first 3-stage filter with synchronous motor technology – a landmark breakthrough that is still applied in the industry today. Since then, Fluval has built a legacy around this pioneering spirit, relentlessly adapting in a changing world to launch innovative aquarium products that remain at the forefront of technology, and which set the bar in quality, style and functionality. Above and beyond its manufacturing role, Fluval prides itself on its charitable and educational efforts that give back to the fishkeeping community, whether it means helping to fund the protection of wild coral reefs or jumping on a plane to document endangered fish species halfway around the world. Fluval’s mission is not just about building products that mimic the natural world, but inspiring aquarists of all skill levels to enjoy and respect the hobby for generations to come. Review: Worth the value - My wife continues to look for these in the store and they are double the price of what I paid for these. So this makes it a worthwhile value. They are exactly the same. Review: Excellent Pre-Filter Media for Cleaner Water and Healthier Fish! - I recently purchased the Fluval Pre-Filter Media (Ceramic Rings, 26.45 oz.) for my aquarium, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results. This product has significantly improved the quality of the water in my tank, and my fish seem much happier. Here’s why I’m giving it a 5-star review: 1. Superior Filtration: The ceramic rings in this pre-filter media are highly effective at trapping debris and particles before they reach the main filter. It acts as an additional layer of filtration, ensuring my tank stays clean and the water quality remains high. It’s a fantastic way to prevent the main filter from becoming clogged too quickly, which helps extend its lifespan. 2. Easy to Use and Maintain: The ceramic rings are simple to rinse and replace when needed, making tank maintenance a breeze. I’ve used other types of pre-filter media before, but Fluval’s product seems to be the most efficient and easiest to handle. It doesn’t require a lot of effort to keep it in good condition. 3. Excellent Water Clarity: Since adding this pre-filter media, the clarity of my tank water has dramatically improved. The rings help remove smaller particles that my main filter might miss, resulting in cleaner and clearer water overall. My fish are more visible, and the tank looks so much better. 4. Safe for Fish and Plants: I love that this pre-filter media is safe for my fish and aquarium plants. The ceramic rings provide a surface area for beneficial bacteria to grow, which aids in biological filtration and helps create a healthier environment for my aquatic life. 5. Durable and Long-Lasting: The Fluval ceramic rings are built to last. I’ve had them in my tank for a few weeks now, and they still look as good as new. The 26.45 oz. size is perfect for my medium-sized tank, and I’m confident it will last a long time before needing a replacement. Final Thoughts: I highly recommend Fluval Pre-Filter Media to any aquarium owner looking to improve their filtration system. The extra layer of filtration helps maintain cleaner water, and the ceramic rings are long-lasting and easy to clean. It’s a simple but effective addition to any tank, and it’s made a noticeable difference in the overall water quality. 🐠 Five stars without a doubt!

Where to place it and now to use it.** A: I use this product as the first stage of filtration in my SunSun canister. I place it n the very bottom, beneath the sponge filters tray. It acts to slow the flow of the water to allow solids to settle and stay trapped. This help to keep the finer sponge filters and polishing filter from clogging. **Q: does this come with a bag to hold the pieces in? if not, dostores sell the bags seperate?** A: they come in a bag inside of the box. you can take them out of the bag or leave them in it. we take them out because they seem to work better that way. **Q: Where do I use it in a 406 filter?** A: In top holder and second holder in opposite bins ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth the value *by C***I on January 15, 2026* My wife continues to look for these in the store and they are double the price of what I paid for these.
