Product Information
Full details
The SuperFish Aqua-Flow XL Bio Foam is designed for aquarium hobbyists who own the Aqua-Flow XL internal filter and want to maintain optimal water quality. These replacement sponges provide essential mechanical and biological filtration by trapping debris and hosting beneficial bacteria, helping to keep your tank environment stable. While highly effective at waste removal, regular maintenance is required to prevent the sponges from becoming clogged, which can impede water flow.

FAQs
Can I wash these foams under tap water?
No. Tap water contains chlorine which kills the beneficial bacteria that keep your aquarium's nitrogen cycle stable.
How often should I replace these sponges?
We recommend replacing the sponges every 3 to 6 months to ensure the best filtration efficiency.
Does this pack include the plastic filter casing?
No, this is a replacement pack consisting of 2 foam sponges only.
Will this fit the Aqua-Flow 100 or 200?
No, this foam is specifically manufactured for the Aqua-Flow XL model.
How many sponges come in a pack?
Each pack contains 2 high-quality filter sponges.
Troubleshooting
Reduced water flow from the filter
The foam is likely clogged with debris. Remove the foam and rinse it in a bucket of aquarium water.
Water remains cloudy after installing new foam
Ensure the foam is seated correctly in the housing so that water cannot bypass the filter media.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Compatibility: These foams are exclusively designed for the SuperFish Aqua-Flow XL internal filter. They will not fit other filter brands or smaller/larger Aqua-Flow models.
- Installation: Power off the filter, remove the filter head, take out the old foam, and insert the new SuperFish Bio Foam into the designated compartment.
- Cleaning: Rinse the foam once every two to four weeks depending on your bioload. Never clean the foam under tap water, as the chlorine will kill the beneficial bacteria living on the sponge; always use water removed from your aquarium during a water change.
- Replacement: Replace the foam every 3 to 6 months, or sooner if the material loses its structural integrity or can no longer be cleaned effectively.
