Fluval Aquaclear Ac50 Filter Media Maintenance Kit

Fluval AquaClear AC50 Filter Media Maintenance Kit  — For AquaClear 50 Hang-On Power Filter

The Fluval AquaClear AC50 Filter Media Maintenance Kit (SKU: FAQ12) is a specialised maintenance media pack created for the AquaClear 50 Hang-On Power Filter. The package includes a mechanical Foam Insert, Activated Carbon chemical media pouch, and porous BioMax biological ceramic nodes designed to keep mid-sized aquarium environments clean and healthy.

1. Mechanical Foam Insert works as a physical filter by trapping waste and debris from the water
2. Activated Carbon Pouch improves water clarity and eliminates odours, discolourations, and impurities
3. Porous BioMax biological ceramic nodes promote beneficial bacteria growth for effective biological filtration

Replacing clogged and saturated media on a scheduled basis prevents nitrate spikes, reduces organic build-up, and keeps the filter pump running smoothly.
