Description
Fluval Foam Insert Pads for FX2 canister filter (Pack of 2)
Fluval FX2 Foam Inserts (SKU: FA380) are specialised mechanical filter pads custom-moulded for the compact Fluval FX2 canister filter. Designed to fit the outer mechanical frame of the FX2, these porous foam blocks provide heavy-duty mechanical straining, capturing floating debris and particulate waste as water enters the filter. By trapping physical waste early, they keep inner biological and chemical media trays operating at maximum efficiency. These Foam Insert Pads feature a special rippled surface for effective 2-in-1 mechanical and biological filtration.
