Care:
This component is made of durable plastic and requires minimal specific care beyond standard filter maintenance. It is best cleaned during routine filter media cleaning. Rinse it gently with old aquarium water to remove debris. Avoid using tap water, as chlorine can harm beneficial bacteria. Inspect it periodically for any signs of wear or damage during regular filter maintenance.
