MESH MEDIA BAGS:

If you are utilizing a pond kit, your kit will come with the appropriate number of media bags.  Each bag has a draw-string.  A 22" x 26" bag will hold five (5) cubic feet of BactiTwist Filter Media.  (Pictured below, media not included in bag price).
18" x 30" Mesh Media Bag:        $16.50 each
18" x 30" Fine Mesh Media Bag:      $17.00 each
22" x 26" Mesh Media Bag:       $17.50 each
BACTI-TWIST FILTER MEDIA:

This is Rick.  Rick manufactures Bacti-Twist Filter Media, quite possibly the best filtration material on the market today.  Everybody say, "Hi, Rick!"  Every pond I install comes with this filter media because, well, to be honest, it's so easy to clean!  Since we also do pond maintenance, it is always a possiblity that I may have to come back to maintain a pond I have installed, and lifting heavy bags of lava rock caked in fish poop got old in a hurry.  I know other retailers will tell
you lava rock works just fine, but they probably don't have their own pond, or if they do, they have some poor schmuck (like me, for example) maintain it.  Lava rock is much less expensive, but it WILL become so encrusted with fish poop that it will turn your filtration from an aerobic bacterial environment to an anaerobic one.  Lava rock also has a tendency to channel, which means that the water goes around the filter media instead of through it,
thus reducing the effectiveness of your filtration, usually when you need it most.  As your fish grow and multiply, they produce more and more waste.  The lava rock will become encrusted, even if rinsed regularly, and reduce your filter's load capacity.  Bacti-Twist Filter Media is a one-time purchase, as it never needs to be replaced.  It will save your back, and quite possibly your fish!

MATALA FILTER MEDIA:

This filter media is far superior to any other mat type filter material currently available.  It is designed to trap debris, just like any other filter mat, but it is a rigid material, which makes it much easier to clean. Ordinary filter mats need to be smacked against the ground or a tree to dislodge the fine particles trapped in it (with the added bonus of flinging fish poop everywhere). Because of it's rigid construction, Matala rinses easily and comes in four (4) grades of courseness, from fine (white) to course (black).  It can be cut utilizing a kitchen knife to fit snuggly into any filter or skimmer box.
