Fluval FX5/FX6 Max Clean Medium Fine Polishing Pads (3 Pack)
Fluval FX Medium Fine Polishing Pads (SKU: FA35) offer a balanced stage of mechanical fine filtration for Fluval FX5 and FX6 canister filters. Sitting between coarse mechanical foam blocks and micro-fine polishing pads, these medium-fine pads capture mid-to-fine organic particles, preventing ultra-fine pads or chemical media from clogging prematurely and extending the overall life of your filter setup.
The Fluval FX5 FX6 Max Clean Medium Fine Polishing Pads are high-performance replacement media designed to enhance water clarity and filtration in your Fluval FX5 or FX6 canister filter. These polishing pads are equipped with a fine-grade polishing material that effectively removes microscopic particles, ensuring crystal-clear water.
