Available Sizes & Mesh Options

Choose from three Seachem Zip Bag options depending on your filter media and filtration setup.

Small Mesh and Medium Mesh options share the same physical dimensions but differ in mesh grade. Choose based on the particle size of your filtration media.

Choosing the Right Mesh

Different aquarium filter media require different mesh openings to remain securely contained while allowing adequate water circulation.

• Small Mesh: A suitable choice for smaller granular filtration media that require tighter containment.
• Medium Mesh: Designed for filtration media with larger particle sizes where a more open mesh is appropriate.
• Large Mesh: Offers a larger bag format for applications requiring additional space for compatible filtration media.

Always consider the particle size of your chosen filter media and the available space inside your aquarium filter before selecting a Zip Bag.
