oam Inserts
(
All Baskets)
A-228 (3-pk.)
Fluval Foam Inserts capture large particles for effective mechanical filtration, the crucial
first stage in the filtration process. Custom fit to prevent bypass, they have a pore size
that allows efficient water flow with less clogging for long-lasting filtration. These
inserts also enhance biological filtration.
For freshwater and marine environments.

Fluval Ammonia Remover is a natural ion-exchange media designed to remove toxic
ammonia as water passes over it. Controlling ammonia levels reduces stress on fish. Use
this product to provide a healthy environment when setting up a new aquarium or
maintaining one that contains a higher than average fish stock. Ammonia Remover
gradually becomes inactive. Replace regularly, at least once a month.
For freshwater use only.
BioMax (Middle or Bottom Media Baskets)
A-1456 (500g)
A-1457 (1100g)
Fluval BioMax ceramic rings have a complex pore system where beneficial bacteria can
thrive. With more capacity than most biological filter media, BioMax helps reduce
ammonia and nitrite. Plus, the rings allow ideal water movement throughout the
media, to ensure optimal contact time for efficient biological filtration. Replace BioMax
every 3 months. IMPORTANT: Replenish only half at one time to allow proper seeding
from older media to new.
For freshwater and marine environments.

Fluval Carbon—a premium, research grade, low-ash carbon—improves water clarity and
color, while also removing odors. Highly porous, it provides large amounts of surface
area for adsorption of impurities. It effectively removes heavy metals, odors,
discolorations, organic contaminants, and pollutants to leave your aquarium water
crystal clear and sparkling. This product does not release phosphates. Carbon loses its
activity without outward sign. Replace monthly to ensure that active adsorption is
maintained. Carbon should always be removed when medication is being administered
in aquarium water. Also, because carbon will adsorb a large percentage of the nutrients
in plant fertilizer products, it should be used carefully when keeping live plants.
For freshwater and marine environments.
