Fluval Fx4/Fx5/Fx6 Phosphate Pads 3 Pack

Description

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.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Nuisance Algae Management: Insert at the first sign of excessive algae growth on glass, substrate, or decorations.

• Routine Nutrient Control: Maintain in high-light, heavily fed, or planted aquariums to keep phosphates at low target levels.

• High-Phosphate Tap Water: Use if source water naturally contains elevated phosphate levels during water changes.

How to Use

1. Disconnect filter power and open the main FX canister head assembly.

2. Insert the Phosphate Pad into the media tray frame.

3. Rinse under running tap water before placing it into the filter basket.

4. Replace monthly or when phosphate water test results indicate resin saturation.
