Fluval media have instructions for use on the individual packaging.

the individual characteristics of an aquarium.

gently lift the large blue center handle to release the Aqua-Stop

It is not necessary to remove the hose system from the aquarium unless the hoses or the Aqua-Stop
require cleaning. Periodic cleaning is recommended to ensure an optimal flow rate. In order to
clean the Aqua-Stop or hosing, rinse under water and, if necessary, use an appropriate Fluval
