4" Filter Media Cup
Looking for an alternative to traditional filter socks? Our 4" Filter Media Cup offers a simple, reusable way to manage mechanical filtration in your aquarium sump.
Designed to fit compatible 4-inch filter sock holders, the cup can be filled with your choice of filter floss or suitable mechanical filtration media. Instead of washing and replacing filter socks, simply remove the used floss and replace it with fresh material.
The open design allows water to pass through the filtration media, helping capture suspended particles, uneaten food and detritus before they circulate through your aquarium system.
Why We Like It
Filter socks do a great job, but cleaning them isn't everyone's favourite aquarium job. A media cup makes routine maintenance much more convenient. Just swap out the dirty floss when needed, give the cup a quick rinse and you're ready to go again.
It's a particularly handy option for busy reefkeepers who want effective mechanical filtration without building up a pile of dirty filter socks.
