If you want to get rid of phosphate from your tank, then you should use the Phosphate Remover. For the uninformed, excess phosphate will lead to algae bloom. The pads will also capture small particles from the water. https://fluvalaquatics.com/us/product-category/filtration-media/media/external-media/filtration-media-media-external-07-series/?product_count=36 To find the best nitrate removers on the market, our team of experts looks at various factors.

Fluval recommend you rinse the BioMax Rings monthly and replace them every six months. Based on our own experience, however, you don’t need new rings until the old ones completely breaks apart. Regular rinsing should be enough to keep the rings effective for many years. You should place the Phosphate Remover in the top grey media basket if you have the 106, 206, 306, 107, 207 or 307. For fish keepers who have the 406 or 407, you can put the pads in either the top two media baskets.You should replace the pads every three months. With that said, if you notice a reduction of the water flow due to the micro-­fine polyester being clogged up with fish wastes, then you can replace polishing pads earlier than the recommend time.

I have used the Fluval 406 as the example (as I own it) but this could apply to other external filters. The results of this product are instant, as it removes any stress caused by heightened ammonia levels in the water while also promoting the gill health of pond fish. It comes in a very large container which will last you a long time, and it only needs to be used once a week. This makes it extremely convenient and easy to use. Pros You can place the carbon in the very top grey media baskets of the 106, 206, 306, 107, 207 and 307 in addition to either of the top two baskets of the 406 and 407. Make sure you meticulously rinse the carbon before using it in your filter. If you want to keep your water looking clean, then we recommend using Bio-Foam Max on the red pre-filter basket as it contains 30 percent more area when compared to the white Pre-Filter Bio-Foams that come included with the filters. Since beneficial bacteria will also grow on the blue foam, the biological filtration will also be increased. (Note: you can only place the Bio-Foam Max on one side of the pre-filter basket).

If you just want to remove ammonia and want the extra benefits of carbon, then you should take a look at the Zeo-Carb. Large pallet items like aquariums are deemed delivered successfully with no damage once the the driver has left the property. If a report of damage is submitted after the driver has left we may be unable to assist with replacements. We recommend refusing a damaged delivery, this is the fastest resolution. If you want to remove ammonia from your aquarium, then you might want to take a look at the Ammonia Remover as it uses natural clinoptilolite to absorb the toxic compound from your waters. Water changing is when the fish keeper will drain a tank from a portion of the water – depending on the percentage of the water change- and replace whatever was drained with clean and fresh water. The porous cores of the BioMax Rings should also give plenty of surface area to grow nitrifying bacteria.

Reporting Breakages: Any breakages or damages must be reported to the store within 48 hours of receiving the goods. It is important to promptly notify the store to initiate the resolution process. Other than being an extremely effective nitrate remover, Seachem Matrix is also very safe for your fish as it is made of 100% natural volcanic ash. It will not alter the pH of your water or leach any unwanted chemicals, making it a great choice for those who are looking for a natural solution. Fluval suggests that you put the resin in the top most grey media baskets for those that are using the 106, 206, 306, 107, 207 or 307 filters. You can put the material on either of the two top basket filters in the 406 and 407 filters. Before usage, you need to meticulously rinse the resin.

Customer reviews

Depending on preference, the Fluval ClearMax Phosphate Remover can be just as good as the Seachem, if not better. It possesses the same qualities and is a runner-up simply because it tends to remove necessary nitrate if you’re not careful. However, our team found that that’s on very rare occasions.
