CHAMBER 1

Mech Media

A thick and high-quality reusable black sponge is placed here to prevent detritus such as fish waste and plant matter from building up within the other filtration chambers and importantly the power head water pump. Simple to slide and remove, this coarse sponge makes maintenance quick and easy. Care should be taken to clean the sponge on a regular basis to avoid overflow spills to ensure the system runs smoothly and efficiently.

CHAMBER 2

Bio Media

Porous ceramic bio ring media is provided in an enclosed fine mesh media bag. This is essential for the livelihood of beneficial bacteria that maintains and contributes largely to a balanced and healthy underwater eco-system. Extra room is allotted for additional filter media to be added or for personal customization if desired. This media does not require regular maintenance compared to the coarse sponge but will eventually require a light rinse as detritus builds.

  NOTE: Ultum Nature Systems 60A All-In-One Tank includes 2 filled media bags

CHAMBER 3

Power Head

The final chamber houses a small yet powerful power head water pump that is responsible for providing the essential flow of clean water back into the aquarium. The flow is adjustable depending on preference and filter tubing is already pre-installed. This is a fully submersible high-quality pump that should not run dry. It should be unplugged during aquarium maintenance and should not be adjusted when in use.
