Foam Inserts (All Baskets)
Fluval Foam Inserts capture large particles for effective mechanical filtration, the crucial
first stage in the filtration process. Custom fit to prevent bypass, they have a pore size
that allows efficient water flow with less clogging for long-lasting filtration. These
inserts also enhance biological filtration.
For freshwater and marine environments.
Ammonia Remover (Top or Middle Media Baskets)
Fluval Ammonia Remover is a natural ion-exchange media designed to remove toxic
ammonia as water passes over it. Controlling ammonia levels reduces stress on fish. Use
this product to provide a healthy environment when setting up a new aquarium or
maintaining one that contains a higher than average fish stock. Ammonia Remover
gradually becomes inactive. Replace regularly, at least once a month.
For freshwater use only.
BioMax (Middle or Bottom Media Baskets)
Fluval BioMax ceramic rings have a complex pore system where beneficial bacteria can
thrive. With more capacity than most biological filter media, BioMax helps reduce
ammonia and nitrite. Plus, the rings allow ideal water movement throughout the
media, to ensure optimal contact time for efficient biological filtration. Replace BioMax
every 3 months. IMPORTANT: Replenish only half at one time to allow proper seeding
from older media to new.
For freshwater and marine environments.
Carbon (Top or Middle Media Baskets)
Fluval Carbon—a premium, research grade, low-ash carbon—improves water clarity and
color, while also removing odors. Highly porous, it provides large amounts of surface
area for adsorption of impurities. It effectively removes heavy metals, odors,
discolorations, organic contaminants, and pollutants to leave your aquarium water
crystal clear and sparkling. This product does not release phosphates. Carbon loses its
activity without outward sign. Replace monthly to ensure that active adsorption is
maintained. Carbon should always be removed when medication is being administered
in aquarium water. Also, because carbon will adsorb a large percentage of the nutrients
in plant fertilizer products, it should be used carefully when keeping live plants.
For freshwater and marine environments.
FLUVAL FILTER MEDIA
Peat Granules (Middle Media Basket)
Fluval Peat Granules are the all-natural way to soften aquarium water and achieve the
pH levels required for breeding and rearing certain tropical fish. Peat contains humic
acid, tanning agents, and trace elements that are essential for various life processes.
Highly concentrated for maximum effectiveness, this product is recommended for fish
that prefer soft, acidic water.
For freshwater use only.
Polishing Pad (Top or Middle Media Baskets)
Fluval Water Polishing Pads are uniquely designed to fit Fluval canister filters. These
extra thick micro-fine polyester pads capture micro particles as the water passes
through. Use Fluval Water Polishing Pads when cloudy water occurs or after tank
maintenance for crystal clear aquarium water. Fluval Fine Filter Pads are uniquely
designed to fit Fluval canister filters. These polyester pads capture small particles and
help maintain crystal clear water. Use Fluval Fine Filter pads after using Fluval Polishing
Pads to maintain water clarity.
For freshwater and marine environments.
Pre-Filter (Top or Middle Media Baskets)
Fluval Pre-Filter consists of chemically inert ceramic rings designed to capture larger
solids. Trapping these particles before they can move further through the system, Pre-
Filter prevents the clogging of active media that will filter the same water in
subsequent stages. This extends the media, and reduces the need for frequent
replacement. Pre-Filter is permanent, and requires only occasional rinsing.
For freshwater and marine environments.
Zeo-Carb (Top or Middle Media Baskets)
Fluval Zeo-Carb is a premium blend of Fluval Carbon and Fluval Ammonia Remover.
Working together, these highly effective media eliminate liquefied impurities, odors,
and discoloration, while, at the same time, removing toxic ammonia, for a clean,
healthy aquarium. Combining two products into one gives you more space in your filter
system for other types of media. Replace once a month, more often if aquarium is
heavily populated. Remove when medication is being administered in aquarium water.
Use carefully when keeping live plants.
