This guide is for aquarium owners using Ciano CF80 filters. The Ciano Water Foam provides superior mechanical filtration, effectively removing particles and organic matter for clearer water. A key benefit is its durable material that lasts up to 90 days, though it requires regular replacement to maintain optimal performance. This medium-sized foam is designed as a direct replacement for Ciano aquarium filters.

For optimal mechanical filtration, it is recommended to replace the Ciano Water Foam every 90 days.
No, it is best to rinse the foam gently in used aquarium water to preserve beneficial bacteria. Rinsing with tap water can harm these bacteria and should be avoided.
PPI stands for 'Pores Per Inch'. A 30PPI density means there are approximately 30 pores per linear inch, indicating a fine yet permeable foam suitable for capturing small particles while allowing adequate water flow.
This foam is primarily designed for mechanical filtration. While some beneficial bacteria may colonize it, it does not replace dedicated biological filtration media.
The Ciano Water Foam for CF80 filters is available in Medium size.
Signs include significantly reduced water flow, persistent cloudiness, or visible breakdown of the foam material. Regular replacement every 90 days is the best practice.
The foam may be clogged. Gently rinse the foam in used aquarium water. If rinsing does not restore flow, it is time to replace the foam.
Ensure the foam is the correct size and properly seated in the filter. Check if other filter media (e.g., biological media) needs attention. Cloudiness can also be caused by issues unrelated to mechanical filtration.
Ensure the foam is not being over-cleaned or cleaned with tap water. Avoid excessive physical scrubbing. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Setup: To set up the Ciano Water Foam, simply remove the old foam from your Ciano CF80 filter and insert the new medium-sized foam. Ensure it is seated correctly to allow water to flow through it efficiently.
Compatibility: This filter foam is specifically designed as a replacement for Ciano CF80 aquarium filters. It is available in Medium size.
Care: While the foam is designed to last 90 days, you can extend its effective life by gently rinsing it weekly in old aquarium water (water removed during a water change). Avoid rinsing under tap water, as this can kill beneficial bacteria. Do not use soaps or detergents. Replacement is recommended every 90 days to ensure optimal filtration.
