Fluval AC50 Bio Foam Insert Blue 3 Pack

Description

Fluval AC50 Bio-Foam Filter Insert Blue (Pack of 3)

The Fluval AC50 Bio-Foam Filter Insert Blue 3 Pack (SKU: FAQ22) provides essential dual-action mechanical and biological filtration for AquaClear 50 (AC50) Power Filters. Engineered with an ultra-dense 30 PPI (pores per inch) foam structure, this insert effectively traps floating debris and fine waste particles while maintaining smooth, unrestricted water flow through the filter basket.

The porous, high-surface-area foam block acts as an ideal breeding ground for beneficial nitrifying bacteria, helping to break down harmful toxic ammonia and nitrites. Precision-cut to eliminate gaps, these inserts force water through the media, ensuring maximum filtration efficiency across both freshwater and marine aquarium environments.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Primary Mechanical & Biological Filtration: Serves as the foundational foam layer inside AquaClear 50 power filters.

• Trapping Fine Debris: Ideal for clearing cloudy water caused by fish waste, uneaten food, and suspended plant material.

• Media Replacement & Staggering: Essential for replacing old, clogged foam blocks every 2 months to ensure consistent mechanical trapping and biological health.

How to Use

1. Unpack one blue Bio-Foam block and rinse thoroughly under running aquarium or dechlorinated tap water before placement.

2. Slide the insert into the bottom level of the AquaClear 50 filter basket so water passes through it first.

3. During routine filter maintenance, gently squeeze and rinse the foam in taken-out aquarium water to preserve the beneficial bacteria colony.

4. Replace the foam block every 2 months. When using multiple pads, stagger replacements to avoid disrupting your biological filter bed.
