Nitrate Removal Filter Pad for Aquarium and Pond Filters
The IceCap Nitrate Removal Filter Pad is a cut-to-size filtration pad for ponds, marine aquariums, and freshwater aquariums. It is made to sit in the path of water flow and help remove and control nitrate while trapping free-floating debris.
Use it in wet/dry filters, sumps, canister filters, and other filter paths where water can pass through the pad. The 10 x 18 inch sheet can be cut to fit the filter space, making it useful for many aquarium and pond setups.
Key Features
• Cut-to-size nitrate removal pad for aquarium and pond filters.
• Made for ponds, marine aquariums, and freshwater aquariums.
• Can be used in wet/dry filters, sumps, canister filters, and other filter paths.
• Helps remove and control nitrate in aquarium and pond water.
• Traps excess food, waste, debris, and free-floating particulates.
• Helps remove solid organic compounds before they break down in the water.
• Can be combined with other IceCap filter pads for layered filtration.
• 10 x 18 inch sheet can be trimmed to fit the filter area.
Ideal For
• Freshwater aquariums or ponds where nitrate control is part of routine maintenance.
• Marine aquariums using sump, canister, or wet/dry filtration.
• Hobbyists who want a cut-to-fit pad that can be layered with other filter pads.
Pro Tips
• Place it in direct flow. The pad works best when water must pass through the full surface. Do not leave gaps that let water bypass the pad.
• Cut it slightly oversized. A snug fit helps hold the pad in place and keeps debris from slipping around the edges.
• Use a coarse pad first. A white poly fiber pad can catch larger debris before this pad, helping it stay useful longer.
• Replace it before flow slows. A clogged pad can trap waste too long and reduce filter flow. Change it as part of normal service.
• Do not rely on the pad alone. Nitrate control also depends on feeding, stocking, water changes, and biological filtration.
