Fluval Fx4/fx5/fx6 Foam 3 Pack

Description

Fluval FX Foam Block Pads for FX4/FX5/FX6 canister filters (Pack of 3)

Fluval FX Foam Blocks (SKU: FA37) are high-capacity, porous mechanical filter inserts engineered specifically for the outer media blocks of Fluval FX4, FX5, and FX6 canister filters. Designed with a custom T-shape profile, these foam inserts fit flush against the outer perimeter of FX filter baskets, providing a massive mechanical straining area to trap large amounts of particulate debris before water passes into the biological inner core. These FX foam pads capture large particles and debris for effective mechanical filtration.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Primary Mechanical Filtration: Mandatory pre-filter stage in all FX4, FX5, and FX6 canister filter setups.

• Routine Replacement: Replace old, compressed, or worn foam inserts to maintain peak pump flow and mechanical capacity.

How to Use

1. Power off and open the FX canister filter casing.

2. Fit the T-shaped foam blocks securely into the outer media ring slots.

3. During regular filter maintenance, rinse pads thoroughly in extracted aquarium water to clear accumulated debris.

4. Replace every 3 to 6 months or when foam loses structural shape.
