Product Description

This kit contains 5kg of Biohome Ultimate Marine, two sets of coarse, medium and fine foams plus 20 gel filter starter balls (Pure Reef Balance) to seed the filter with beneficial bacteria and prevent any ammonia or nitrite spikes if this kit is used to replace media in a mature system. If the kit is used for a mature system it is best to swap out old media gradually (over a month or so) to make the transition as smooth as possible. Once the new media matures in the filter it should last 6-10 years at high efficiency. 
Foams for outer parts of trays should be cut to 37.5cm (14.75") x 9cm (3.5"). You will be able to cut 3 foams from each 17" x 11" coarse and medium foam so as this kit has 2 x coarse and 2 x medium foams that gives you enough for all 3 trays.
The fine pads can be carefully ripped to a suitable thickness then cut to size for the top tray - you only need one fine pad on top of the top tray.
