Fluval Bio FX Biological Media 5ltr Box
Fluval Bio FX (SKU: FA69) is a premium, high-capacity biological filter media engineered for maximum biological filtration efficiency in canister filters and sump systems of all sizes, including Fluval’s flagship FX series. Formulated with a highly porous inert matrix, Bio FX features deep interconnected micro-tunnel networks that offer exceptional surface area per litre. This structure allows vast billions of beneficial colonies of nitrifying bacteria to thrive, ensuring rapid biological breakdown of ammonia and nitrite in high-volume aquariums.
Linked cavities permit free and even water flow, helping to prevent blockages and prolong contact time for superior and effective biological filtration. Fluval BIO-FX creates the perfect environment for the establishment of a high concentration of nitrifying bacteria to reduce ammonia and nitrite quickly and efficiently for a healthier aquarium.
Usage & Application
When to Use
- High-Capacity Biological Filtration: Ideal for large canisters (such as Fluval FX series) and aquarium sump setups.
- Large Aquariums & Heavy Bio-Loads: Recommended for predator tanks, monster fish, cichlids, and reef aquariums.
How to Use
- Pour the required volume of Bio FX into filter baskets or mesh media bags.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water prior to first use to remove fine dust particles.
- Place in the biological stage of your filter (after mechanical pre-filtration).
- Squeeze/rinse gently in aquarium water during regular maintenance; do not wash under tap water to preserve bacterial colonies.
- For most aquariums, 1 filter basket layer of Bio-FX is adequate. For higher bio loads, additional Bio-FX can be used.
