It captures mid-size particles while supporting beneficial bacterial colonisation on its porous foam surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVersatile Mid-Stage Media for General Pond Filtration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere pond load is moderate and a three-stage setup is not practical, the medium-density mat handles both roles adequately. It captures more fine particulate than low-density foam while providing better bacterial surface area than high-density. In a two-mat setup, pair it with a high-density coarse mat upstream and a low-density bio mat downstream for a complete three-stage system in a standard two-chamber housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDensity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMedium (combined mechanical\/biological)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eForm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRigid foam panel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible With\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAquascape biofilter and waterfall filter housings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSafe For\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKoi, goldfish, aquatic wildlife\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace mid-stream in the filter housing, after any coarse pre-filter media.
