Maintain clean, healthy aquarium water with genuine Juwel Medium 3.0 filter sponges and replacement media. This range includes the mechanical, biological and specialised filtration media used in compatible Juwel aquarium filtration systems.
Rather than replacing the entire filter media set, simply select the individual Juwel sponge or media you require. Options range from everyday coarse and fine filter sponges through to specialised media designed to target nitrate, phosphate, ammonium and dissolved impurities.
Juwel Medium 3.0 Media Options
-
BioPad – A mechanical pre-filter pad that traps larger particles and debris before they travel further through the filtration system.
-
Coarse Sponge – Coarse-pored filter sponge providing both mechanical filtration and an effective surface for beneficial bacteria.
-
Fine Sponge – Fine-pored filtration sponge that helps capture smaller particles while also supporting biological filtration.
-
Carbon Sponge – Activated carbon sponge designed to help remove discolouration, unwanted odours and certain dissolved substances from aquarium water.
-
Nitrax – Biological filter media designed to help reduce nitrate and support improved aquarium water quality.
-
Phorax – Specialised phosphate-removing media that helps lower phosphate levels and reduce one of the nutrients associated with unwanted algae growth.
-
Cirax – Highly porous biological filtration media providing a large surface area for colonisation by beneficial bacteria.
-
Carbax – High-performance activated carbon media designed to bind unwanted substances, odours and discolouration.
-
Amorax – Specialised Juwel filter media designed to bind ammonium and support improved aquarium water conditions.

Complete Filtration for Your Juwel Aquarium
Different filter media perform different jobs within your aquarium filter. Mechanical media captures suspended debris, biological media provides surfaces for beneficial bacteria, while specialised media can help address particular water-quality requirements.
Combining the appropriate Juwel media allows your filtration system to provide effective multi-stage filtration while maintaining good water circulation through the filter.
Which Juwel Filter Media Should I Choose?
For regular aquarium filtration, BioPad, coarse sponges and fine sponges form an important part of the filtration process.
For more specialised requirements:
- Choose Nitrax to assist with nitrate reduction.
- Choose Phorax to help reduce phosphate.
- Choose Cirax for additional biological filtration.
- Choose Carbon or Carbax when activated carbon filtration is required.
- Choose Amorax to help bind ammonium.
This makes it easy to customise your Juwel filter media according to the needs of your aquarium.

Regular Filter Maintenance
Maintaining your filter media helps keep water flowing correctly through the filtration system and prevents excessive accumulation of debris.
Different types of Juwel media have different maintenance and replacement requirements. Avoid replacing all biological filter media simultaneously, as established biological media supports the beneficial bacteria involved in your aquarium's nitrogen cycle.
Follow the recommended maintenance schedule for the particular Juwel media being used and adjust maintenance frequency according to aquarium stocking and water conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this listing include all of the filter media?
No. The different Juwel Medium 3.0 media are available as selectable options. Choose the individual sponge or filter media you require before ordering.
Is this genuine Juwel filter media?

Compatible models include the Juwel Rio 125, Rio 180, Rio 240, Vision 180, Trigon 190, Lido 120 and Lido 200.
What's the difference between the coarse and fine sponges?
The coarse sponge captures larger debris while providing biological filtration. The fine sponge has smaller pores and helps capture finer particles while also providing an additional surface for beneficial bacteria.
What's the difference between Cirax, Nitrax and Phorax?
They perform different filtration roles. Cirax provides highly porous biological filtration, Nitrax is designed to assist with nitrate reduction, and Phorax is designed to reduce phosphate.
Can I replace just one type of media?
Yes. Select the individual Medium 3.0 filter media you need rather than replacing every type at the same time.
