Hello,
I am trying to research on filter medias and only found few information regarding it. Most of the documents I found are about filters itself, not the filter media.
As you know, there are three main types of filtration. They are mechanical, chemical and biological. And for the filters that are commonly bought in fish stores, they are the over head filters, box filter and the undergravel filters. There are some the sells canister filters, hang over back and some others. These filters have a limited capacity for filter media and we want to make the most of that space and would like to choose the optimal filter media.
So here is my question, what are your criteria in buying filter medias?
Below are the criteria that I have found to be important.
I know that a combination of the three main types should be made but I would like to find out the best filter media of each type of filtration.
Just like choosing a car, you have power, fuel consumption and price.
Care to share more criteria?
P.S. This is not market research.
This is a personal research to get the optimal solution

Below are the criteria that I have found to be important.
- Surface area per cubic volume
- Size of the filter media
