Description
Fluval FX5/FX6 Polishing Pads (Pack of 3)
Fluval FX Water Polishing Pads (SKU: FA34) are high-capacity, fine-density filter inserts made for Fluval FX5 and FX6 high-performance canister filters. Designed to trap ultra-fine debris and suspended solids, these pads act as the final polishing step in high-volume, high-flow canister filtration systems.
These polishing pads trap minute waste, silt, and cloudiness without significantly restricting pump performance. These extra-thick, micro-fine polyester pads effectively trap micro-particles and debris as water passes through. The pads are ideally used when cloudy water occurs or after tank maintenance to produce crystal clear aquarium water.
