What kind of media is in those filters? Like, what do you have to change and how often?

When you set it up and turn it on, the powder coats the filter "bag". High pressure water flow keeps the powder on the bag. The water has flow thru the powder... It filters out extremely small particles, even Ich.. Now that's a good product! You only need to use it ocassionally, we use it after water changes. :) Change the powder out after each use.
