Our Origin Story Laurren, our founder, began his journey into the world of aquariums at the young age of 13.

This venture flourished into one of the largest aquarium businesses on the East Coast.

Who We Are Aquatic Experts, based in North Carolina, is dedicated to serving aquarists with top-tier filtration materials. Our team continuously innovates and tests new products, ensuring they meet the vital needs of aquatic life.

Product Overview Our third-generation dual-layer aquarium filter pad is thicker than ever. The upper layer is designed to capture larger debris, while the lower layer effectively traps fine particles. This makes it an ideal choice for aquarium polyfill and ensures that even goldfish tanks maintain crystal-clear water.

Features of Our Filter Products: Constructed from resilient polyester fibers bonded through a unique resin, our aquarium filter roll offers exceptional strength and clarity. For optimal performance, use our polishing filter pad following a FilterFirst filter floss roll for pristine water quality.

Customization Options Create custom templates to fit any shaped filter by using a cardboard cut-out of your existing poly filter or sponge filter pad that needs replacing. Our premium dual-density filter roll is favored for cut-to-fit applications, providing budget-friendly solutions for aquarists.

Usage Instructions To maximize filtration efficiency, position the FilterFirst media pad with the loose side facing the water flow. This configuration allows large debris to be captured first, followed by finer particulates being filtered out by the denser fibers. Regularly changing the filter pads greatly enhances water quality, as they capture organic matter before it has the chance to decompose further.

Maintenance Tips Rinse the filter pad bi-weekly and replace it monthly during water changes to sustain optimal water quality. The more frequently you change your filter pads, the better the water quality becomes; our pads efficiently remove organic solids from the water.

Layering for Best Results For enhanced filtration, first allow the water to pass through the FilterFirst pad, followed by a 100-micron polishing pad to catch fine particles, which extends the life of the polishing pad.

Convenience of Use When using our dual-density filter pad in a canister filter, simply cut your original filter pad shape from cardboard and trace around it on our FilterFirst roll to create a perfect fit.

Medications There’s no need to remove our Premium filter pad when treating fish with medication; it does not absorb chemicals and strictly traps debris.
