FAQs

How often should I replace the Bio-Foam media?

The Fluval Bio-Foam media is typically recommended to be replaced every 6 months, or as needed, depending on the aquarium's bioload.

Can I wash the Bio-Foam media?

Yes, you can gently rinse the Bio-Foam with aquarium water during water changes to remove debris. Avoid using tap water.

What is the purpose of the Bio-Foam Max?

The Bio-Foam Max provides a greater surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonize, enhancing biological filtration.

Where does the Bio-Foam go in the filter?

Refer to your filter's manual, but generally the Bio-Foam is placed in the filter baskets or compartments, following the recommended order.

What if my filter model is not listed?

This product is only compatible with Fluval 06 and 07 series canister filters. Check the product description for compatibility.

Is this a complete filtration system?

No, this is a media pack designed to work with a Fluval canister filter, not a complete filtration system by itself.
