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
-
Remove one blue Bio-Foam pad and rinse it thoroughly under clean running water prior to installation.
-
Insert the foam block into the lowest section of the AquaClear 70 filter basket so incoming water passes through it first.
-
During routine maintenance, rinse the sponge in a bucket of removed aquarium water to clear accumulated detritus without killing beneficial bacteria.
-
Replace the foam insert every 2 months. Stagger replacements if using multiple pads to maintain biological stability.
