FAQs
Does this cartridge include filter media?
No, the Oase BioStyle Customisable Booster Cartridge is sold empty, allowing you to choose the specific media that suits your aquarium's needs.
Can I use this for biological filtration?
While it can hold small biological media, it is specifically designed for chemical or specialized filtration rather than replacing the main biological foam block.
How often should I change the media inside?
Replacement frequency depends entirely on the type of media used and your aquarium's biological load; always refer to the specific media manufacturer's instructions.
Will this fit all BioStyle filters?
It is designed to fit the standard BioStyle filter chambers; please ensure your model is compatible by checking the filter specifications.
Is the cartridge dishwasher safe?
No, you should only clean the cartridge manually using warm water and a soft brush to avoid damage from heat or detergents.
Troubleshooting
Reduced water flow through the filter
Check if the media inside the cartridge is packed too tightly or if the filter media has become clogged with organic waste.
Media particles leaking into the tank
Ensure the cartridge lid is fully snapped shut and verify that the media grain size is large enough to be contained by the cartridge slots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, first remove the existing biological filter foam from the designated chamber of your Oase BioStyle filter. Rinse the booster cartridge under tap water to ensure no manufacturing residue remains. Open the cartridge and fill it with your selected media, being careful not to overpack, which could restrict water flow. Snap the lid shut firmly and slide the unit into the filter chamber.
Care instructions include rinsing the cartridge during your routine water change to remove trapped debris. If you are using chemical media, follow the manufacturer's guidelines for replacement intervals, as these materials lose their effectiveness over time. Avoid using abrasive sponges on the plastic casing to prevent scratching and bacterial buildup.
