This XL Ciano filter foam is designed for Ciano Filter compartments in Emotions Pro 100 & 120 CFBIO250 aquariums. It excels at mechanical filtration, trapping particles and organic matter to ensure crystal-clear aquarium water. A key consideration is its specific fit; ensure your aquarium model is compatible before purchasing.

Its primary function is mechanical filtration, meaning it physically traps particles, debris, and organic matter to keep aquarium water clear.
PPI stands for 'Pixels Per Inch', but in filter media, it refers to the pore density. A 30 PPI foam has medium-sized pores, effectively balancing particle capture with water flow.
While the foam material could be cut, it is specifically sized (36cm x 6cm) and designed for particular Ciano filter models. Cutting it may compromise its fit and filtration efficiency in incompatible systems.
It's recommended to replace the foam every 1-3 months, or sooner if it becomes degraded or difficult to clean effectively. Regular rinsing with used aquarium water can extend its usable life.
No, this foam is designed for mechanical filtration only. While it may house some beneficial bacteria, its primary role is particle removal, not biological conversion of waste.
The dimensions are 36cm in length and 6cm in width.
The foam is likely clogged. Remove it and rinse thoroughly with used aquarium water. If it remains clogged or degrades, it's time for a replacement.
Check if the foam is seated correctly and if water is bypassing it. Ensure the foam is not too old or degraded. Consider if biological or chemical filtration is also needed for your aquarium's specific needs.
This indicates the foam has reached the end of its lifespan. Replace it with a new foam media.
Compatibility: This filter foam is specifically designed for Ciano filter compartments within the Emotions Pro 100 and 120 aquarium models, particularly those using the CFBIO250 filter system. Verify that your filter model and compartment dimensions match the 36cm x 6cm size.
Setup: To install, gently slide the foam media into its designated slot within the Ciano filter compartment. Ensure it fits snugly without being compressed excessively.
Care: Rinse the foam media every 1-2 weeks using *used aquarium water*. Avoid rinsing under tap water, as chlorine can harm beneficial bacteria. Replace the foam when it shows signs of significant degradation or if it becomes difficult to clean effectively, typically every 1-3 months depending on aquarium bioload.
