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! A must-have for healthier fish and a cleaner aquarium.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: if you were to get filter bags how many would this fill? and how often would you rinse and change the media? would this media work in the fluval V?**
A: You don't ever want to change the biological media, otherwise you are just throwing away all the beneficial bacteria that has grown on it.

**Q: For those of use who don't know about filtration, someone please explain how to use this and other filter media. 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
