Fluval Carbon Foam (FX4/FX5/FX6, 2 Pack)

Introduction

The Fluval Carbon Foam for FX4, FX5, and FX6 canister filters is a dual-function filtration media designed to provide both mechanical and chemical filtration. Each foam pad features a layer of high-quality activated carbon that effectively removes impurities, odors, discoloration, and toxins from aquarium water, while the foam structure captures fine debris and particles. This combination ensures crystal-clear, healthy water for both freshwater and marine aquariums.
