Ammonia Remover M, H A-1480 (3x180 g), A-1485 (700 g)
Ammonia Remover removes ammonia before it can harm fish. An effective addition to normal filter media, it
reduces unacceptable levels of ammonia. In chloramine treated water, it helps remove excess ammonia
created when the chloramine bond is broken to release free ammonia. Ammonia Remover should be used
exclusively in freshwater as its ionic functions release captured ammonia in brackish and saltwater. Ammonia
Remover does not show any physical change as it loses its activity, which is determined by the amounts of
ammonia it contacts. Ammonia Remover should not be left in the filter longer than a month.
BioMax M, H A-1455
Fluval BioMax is suitable for both fresh and marine aquariums. When used in a center or top media basket,
Fluval BioMax is the ideal host material for large populations of beneficial bacteria. The ring size and shape
provide an excellent strainer for medium and large particulate wastes when used in the middle media basket.
The biological activity is still noticeable when used in lower levels, but the rings will clog much more rapidly
than when they are used higher in the filter. Bacterial activity and growth will gradually clog the internal pores
that make it such a fantastic biological substrate. BioMax should be replaced every six months, but only half
should be replenished at one time to allow proper seeding from older media to new.
Carbon L, M A-1440 (3x100 g), A-1445 (375 g)
Fluval Activated Carbon provides many benefits in both fresh and marine water. The high quality carbon
provides a large porous area to trap minute particles. Besides providing a small sieve for mechanical trapping
of organic wastes, carbon also removes liquid wastes from water. These include urine, dyes or impurities in
solution. This action provides sparkling clear water in the aquarium. The large internal surface area also
provides numerous points for important bacterial colonies to form and thrive. Carbon should always be
removed during medication. It has also been recently noted that carbon will adsorb a large percentage of
many of the nutrients in plant fertilizer products. As such, it should be used carefully when keeping live plants.
Carbon loses its activity without outward sign. In general, carbon should be replaced on a monthly basis to
ensure that active adsorption is maintained.
Fluval Peat Fiber A-1460 (70 g)
Fluval Peat Fiber is a select fibrous peat ideal for use in freshwater aquariums. This safe, natural filter media
provides optimal water conditions for many species of fish originating from specific tropical environments. Many
species of fish can benefit from the compounds found in Fluval Peat Fiber. Examples include species of South
American Cichlids (Angelfish, Discus, Apistogramma etc.), Corydoras Catfish, Tetras, Gouramis and Barbs.
Fluval Peat Fiber will gradually release beneficial elements and will contribute to vibrant colors, enhance
breeding success, and give superior conditions for a variety of fish species that thrive in soft acidic water.
It is recommended to verify the desired pH and KH levels by testing with Nutrafin pH and KH test kits on a
regular basis. Fluval Peat Fiber will gradually reduce pH and KH levels. The recommended KH range is 50 to
120 mg/L (approx. 3 to 7 dKH to support safe, stable pH levels) for proper maintenance of certain species of
fish. Use Nutrafin pH Stabilizer for superior results in maintaining an optimal KH value. The replacement of
Fluval Peat Fiber media is determined by testing and the diminishing effect it has on pH and KH levels.
Fluval Peat Fiber should be placed in the middle media basket of canister filter systems to avoid strands from
entering the impeller chamber.
Fluval Peat Granular A-1465 (500 g)
Fluval Peat Granular is a select granular peat ideal for use in freshwater aquariums. This concentrated, safe,
natural filter media provides optimal water conditions for many species of fish originating from specific tropical
environments. Many species of fish can benefit from the compounds found in Fluval Peat Granular. Examples
include species of South American Cichlids (Angelfish, Discus, Apistogramma etc.), Corydoras Catfish, Tetras,
Gouramis and Barbs.
Fluval Peat Granular releases beneficial elements and will contribute to vibrant colors, enhanced breeding
success, and superior conditions for a variety of fish species that thrive in soft acidic water.
It is recommended to verify the desired pH and KH levels by testing with Nutrafin pH and KH test kits on a
regular basis. Fluval Peat Granular is a concentrated filter media and will initially reduce pH and KH levels at
a quicker rate than fibrous peat. The recommended KH range is 50 to 120 mg/L (approx. 3 to 7 dKH to
support safe, stable pH levels) for proper maintenance of certain species of fish. Use Nutrafin pH Stabilizer for
superior results in maintaining an optimal KH value. The replacement of Fluval Peat Granular media is
determined by testing and the diminishing effect it has on pH and KH levels.
PolyWool L, M
"PolyWool" is a common filter material that can be used to provide an inexpensive mechanical screen in the
lower media baskets. This will remove fine particles and keep biological materials from being clogged
prematurely. It will polish aquarium water to a crystal clear finish.
Pre-Filter L A-1470 (750 g)
Fluval Pre-Filter consists of inert, solid ceramic rings used to trap large and medium solid particles before they
clog the finer sieves of the media baskets above. The media forces water into many complex paths as it
moves through this layer. This further increases its mechanical and biological activity and expands the actual
contacted filter area. An additional benefit, it supports large populations of bacteria for proper biological
action on ammonia and nitrite.
This reduces the need for frequent changes of the active filter media. Pre-Filter is permanent, and requires
only occasional rinsing. This media can be used in fresh and marine environments without difficulty.
L, M, H
Zeo-Carb A-1490 (3x150 g), A-1495 (600 g)
Zeo-Carb combines UltraGrade Carbon with Ammonia Remover to protect the aquarium from build-ups of
both ammonia and liquified wastes, dyes and medications. The ammonia remover will also help remove the
ammonia released when the chloramine bond in some municipal water supplies must be broken. The purity
of the carbon prolongs active life and releases no phosphates into the water. Zeo-Carb should be replaced
at least every month, more often if the aquarium is heavily loaded to ensure that the medias remain active
and useful.
