Description
Product Overview & Aquatic Benefits
The JBL Symec micro is a specialized microfibre fleece designed for advanced aquarium filtration, providing superior clarity and maintaining optimal water chemistry crucial for aquatic life. By acting as a highly efficient physical filter medium, this material targets and removes various forms of suspended particulate matter that degrade water quality.
Its primary function is the rapid removal of cloudiness—whether caused by metabolic waste, plant debris, or biological activity—in both freshwater and marine environments. Maintaining crystal-clear water is essential because good water quality directly supports the health and vitality of fish and aquatic plants. The fleece captures fine particles, including floating algae and even microscopic organisms like white spot disease swarmers.
Crucially, this filtration process does not compromise the safety of your tank ecosystem. The material is composed of a water-neutral synthetic fibre, ensuring that no pollutants or harmful substances are released into the aquarium water while effectively removing waste materials and suspended solids.
Key Features & Deep-Dive
- Ultra-Fine Filtration Capability: This fleece excels at capturing extremely small particles, filtering out debris down to 1/1000 mm. This level of filtration ensures that even the finest types of cloudiness and floating algae are effectively removed, leading to visibly clearer water in a short timeframe.
- Water-Neutral Safety Profile: Constructed from synthetic microfibre floss, the material is non-polluting. It guarantees zero release of pollutants into the aquarium, making it safe for continuous use without negatively impacting water chemistry or pH balance.
- Optimized Filtration Placement: The fleece mat is designed to be easily integrated as a final stage in your existing filter system. This placement maximizes its effectiveness by capturing particles that have passed through previous filtration stages.
- Effortless Maintenance and Use: The product comes as an individual cut fleece mat, making it highly adaptable for various aquarium filters and simplifying the setup process.

Directions for Use & Dosing
For optimal performance, follow these setup and maintenance guidelines:
- Preparation: Cut the filter floss to a size that is approximately 1–2 mm larger than the relevant cross-section of your filter housing.
- Installation: Layer the fleece as the final stage of filtration within the filter unit. It is critical to avoid leaving any gaps between the inner wall and the installed material.
- Usage Protocol: Use the floss single-layered only, ensuring maximum efficiency.
- Removal Schedule (Dosing): The material should be removed from the aquarium after a minimum of 12 hours, but no later than 24 hours. Prompt removal is necessary to prevent filter clogging and significant restriction of water flow.
Compatibility & Maintenance
The JBL Symec micro is suitable for use in both freshwater and marine aquariums. While the fleece itself is non-polluting, proper maintenance is key to maximizing its effectiveness:
- Water Types: Suitable for both Freshwater and Marine environments.
- Maintenance Tip: Always adhere strictly to the removal schedule (12–24 hours). Over-saturation or prolonged use will lead to clogging, which restricts water flow and reduces filtration efficiency.
