Fluval Ammonia Remover Pads for FX4/FX5/FX6 canister – Pack of 3
Fluval FX Ammonia Pads (SKU: FA150) are high-capacity chemical filter pads engineered specifically for Fluval FX4, FX5, and FX6 high-performance canister filters. Infused with natural ammonia-reducing resins, these pads bind toxic free ammonia (NH₃) on contact. Tailored to fit precisely within FX series media baskets, they trap floating particulate matter while protecting aquatic life from chemical stress, gill burn, and ammonia(NH₃) spikes in high-volume aquariums.
Usage & Application
When to Use
-
New Aquarium Setup: Use during initial tank cycling to control ammonia(NH₃) surges as biological filtration establishes. Ideal for new and heavily stocked aquariums
-
Heavy Bio-Load Systems: Apply in heavily stocked, cichlid, or goldfish tanks to prevent waste accumulation spikes.
-
Emergency Toxin Control: Insert immediately following overfeeding, filter failure, or unexpected livestock loss.
How to Use

Disconnect and open your Fluval FX series canister filter housing.
-
Place one Ammonia Pad into the designated media basket.
