Media boxes allow the use of all types of pads and allow you to prefilter all chemical media greatly extending chemical media life compared to socks. Our Media Boxes are the easiest to clean and can be cleaned in less than 3 minutes. Finally, adding an additional Media Box turns our refugium filter into a wet-dry biological filtering to assist live rock in heavy fish load aquariums or for non live rock saltwater aquariums or freshwater aquariums.
