Description
Fluval AC30 Bio-Foam Filter Insert Blue (3 Pack)
The Fluval AC30 Bio-Foam Filter Insert Blue 3 Pack (SKU: FAQ21) provides effective dual-action mechanical and biological filtration engineered specifically for the AquaClear 30 (AC30) Power Filter. Featuring an ultra-dense 30 PPI (pores per inch) foam matrix, this insert traps fine floating particles and debris while maintaining an even, steady water flow through the filter basket.
The porous surface structure creates an optimal environment for beneficial nitrifying bacteria to colonise, breaking down harmful toxic ammonia and nitrites. Form-fitted with zero bypass gaps, these replacement foam pads ensure maximum filtration efficiency in both freshwater and marine aquarium systems.
Usage & Application
When to Use
-
Primary Filtration Base: Serves as the foundational biological and mechanical foam layer in the AquaClear 30 filter basket.
-
Trapping Fine Debris: Clears cloudy water by capturing fish waste, uneaten food, and suspended debris.
-
Routine Media Refresh: Recommended for replacement every 2 months to maintain maximum physical trapping and water flow throughput.
How to Use
-
Unpack one blue Bio-Foam insert and rinse thoroughly under running water prior to installation.
-
Slide the foam pad into the bottom section of the AquaClear 30 filter basket so incoming water passes through it first.
-
During routine filter maintenance, gently rinse the sponge in a container of removed aquarium water to clear detritus without disrupting the biological bacteria colony.
-
Replace the foam block every 2 months. Stagger replacements if using multiple pads to maintain biological stability.
