Fluval Phosphate Remover Pads for FX4/FX5/FX6 canister filters – Pack of 3
Fluval FX Phosphate Pads (SKU: FA152) are specialised chemical media pads engineered for high-capacity Fluval FX4, FX5, and FX6 canister filters. Infused with phosphate-absorbing resins, these pads trap and remove dissolved phosphate (PO₄³⁻) from the water column. Designed for large-volume aquariums, they strip key algae-nourishing nutrients to prevent outbreaks of green water, hair algae, and cyanobacteria while maintaining crystal-clear water.
