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.
- Mechanical Foam Insert works as a physical filter by trapping waste and debris from the water
- Activated Carbon Pouch improves water clarity and eliminates odours, discolourations, and impurities

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