This Bundle includes six items: the Fluval FX6 High Performance Canister Filter; Fluval BIO-FX Biological Media; Fluval FX Ammonia Remover Pads (3 Pack); Fluval FX Phosphate Remover Pads (3 Pack); Fluval FX Nitrite Remover Pads (3 Pack); and Inland Seas 8 oz Activated Carbons (3 Pack).
The BIO-FX, Ammonia Remover, Phosphate Remover, and Nitrite Remover will maximize the performace of the Fluval FX6.
The new Fluval BIO-FX Premium Biological Filter Media, 5L (A1459) has a deeper pore structure allowing for more bacteria and higher biological filtration performance than the original BioMax included with the filter. Half of the BIO-FX should be changed every six months. The 5 liter package includes enough media for at least one change.
The Fluval FX4/FX5/FX6 Phosphate (A262), Ammonia (A259), and Nitrite (A265) removing Pads are resin infused pads that help control phosphate, ammonia, and nitrite from building up in the aquarium. There are three of each pad, and they should be changed monthly.
Pelletized carbon is more efficient than impregnated pads but unlike granular activated carbon it is not “friable” (easily crumbled) and will withstand the strong flow in the FX series filters without being reduced to dust. There are three packages of Inland Seas Carbon in this package, and it should be changed monthly.
