Description: FLUVAL FX6 CARBON IMPREGNANTED FOAM PADS - A249 The Fluval Carbon Impregnated Foam Pads, designated as A249, are filtration media designed for use with Fluval FX5 and FX6 High Performance Canister Filters. These pads have several key features and benefits: Debris Trapping: These foam pads are primarily designed to trap debris from the water as it passes through the canister filter. This helps protect the filter motor and other filter components from clogging and damage due to larger particles and debris. Carbon Impregnation: These pads are infused or impregnated with activated carbon. The carbon serves several important functions: Odor Removal: The activated carbon effectively removes unpleasant odors from the aquarium water, creating a more pleasant and fresh-smelling environment for your aquatic pets and your home. Discoloration Reduction: It helps in reducing water discoloration, making the water in your aquarium appear crystal clear and visually appealing. Heavy Metal and Organic Contaminant Removal: The carbon can also adsorb heavy metals and organic contaminants present in the water, further improving water quality and the overall health of your aquatic ecosystem. Suitable for Various Environments: These carbon-impregnated foam pads are versatile and can be used in both freshwater and marine (saltwater) aquarium environments. They are designed to address common water quality issues regardless of the type of aquatic setup you have. It's important to note that these pads are typically part of the mechanical and chemical filtration stages in a canister filter setup. They complement other filter media like biological media (e.g., bio-balls, ceramic rings) that provide a substrate for beneficial bacteria to grow and perform biological filtration. Regular maintenance of these foam pads, such as rinsing and replacement as needed, is essential to ensure optimal filtration performance in your aquarium. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for maintenance and replacement intervals for your specific filter model.
