Fluval AC20 Bio Foam Insert Blue 3 Pack

Description

Fluval AC20 Bio-Foam Filter Insert Blue (3 Pack)

The Fluval AC20 Bio-Foam Filter Insert Blue 3 Pack (SKU: FAQ20) delivers essential dual-action mechanical and biological filtration engineered specifically for the AquaClear 20 (AC20) Power Filter. Constructed with an ultra-dense 30 PPI (pores per inch) foam matrix, this insert traps fine floating particles and debris while preserving smooth, uninhibited water movement through the filter chamber.

The high-surface-area porous structure serves as an optimal substrate for beneficial nitrifying bacteria colonisation, working to eliminate toxic ammonia and nitrites. Precision-cut with zero bypass gaps, these replacement foam blocks ensure maximum filtration performance in both freshwater and marine aquarium environments.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Primary Filtration Base: Serves as the bottom mechanical and biological foam layer in the AquaClear 20 filter basket.

• Trapping Fine Debris: Captures fish waste, uneaten food, and floating particulates to keep aquarium water clear.

• Routine Media Replacement: Recommended for replacement every 2 months to preserve physical trapping efficiency and proper water throughput.

How to Use

1. Unpack one blue Bio-Foam insert and rinse thoroughly under running water prior to installation.

2. Insert the foam pad into the bottom section of the AquaClear 20 filter basket so incoming water flows through it first.

3. During routine filter maintenance, gently squeeze and rinse the sponge in a container of removed aquarium water to clear waste without disrupting beneficial bacteria.

4. Replace the foam block every 2 months. Stagger replacements if using multiple pads to ensure biological stability.
