Stay Clean™ Technology
Keeps aquariums cleaner, for longer.
Tetra® Filter Cartridges and Bio-Bag® Cartridges have always delivered high performance for aquarium owners. But now, we’ve taken them to take to the next level with our revolutionary Stay Clean Technology.
Stay Clean™ Technology features a unique and innovative Stay Clean™ Tablet, which is the result of 40 lab studies, extensive consumer research, and a 60-day consumer environment test*. This small tablet dissolves steadily over time and, thanks to its active cleaning ingredients, delivers big benefits for fishkeepers like you.


*Test conducted by Tetra Brand’s Aquatic Research Laboratories, with 20 years of consumer aquarium research experience.
