Fluval AC70 Bio Foam Insert Blue 3 Pack

Description

Fluval AC70 Bio-Foam Filter Insert Blue (3 Pack)

The Fluval AC70 Bio-Foam Filter Insert Blue 3 Pack (SKU: FAQ23) provides dual-action biological and mechanical filtration specifically tailored for the AquaClear 70 (AC70) Power Filter. Engineered with an ultra-dense 30 PPI (pores per inch) foam matrix, this insert traps fine particulate waste and floating debris while ensuring smooth, unrestricted water movement through the filter chamber.

The high-surface-area porous structure acts as an ideal substrate for nitrifying bacteria colonisation to eliminate harmful ammonia and nitrites. Precision-moulded to leave zero bypass gaps, these replacement foam blocks maximise filter performance across freshwater and saltwater marine aquariums.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Primary Filtration Layer: Serves as the base mechanical and biological filtration insert in the AquaClear 70 filter basket.

• Trapping Particulate Waste: Clears cloudiness by capturing fish waste, floating plant matter, and uneaten food particles.

• Routine Replacement & Maintenance: Recommended for replacement every 2 months to maintain maximum water throughput and physical trapping efficiency.

How to Use

1. Remove one blue Bio-Foam pad and rinse it thoroughly under clean running water prior to installation.

2. Insert the foam block into the lowest section of the AquaClear 70 filter basket so incoming water passes through it first.

3. During routine maintenance, rinse the sponge in a bucket of removed aquarium water to clear accumulated detritus without killing beneficial bacteria.

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