About this product

Fluval BIO-FX biological aquarium filter media goes into the last stage of the filtration process, and the 5 L pack fills that stage in canister filters and sumps of all sizes. The media is made from inert ceramic that does not alter water chemistry, and the pack suits the FX series and the 07 series. Five litres weighs 2.84 kg (6.25 lb) and measures 17 x 17 x 23 cm.

The ceramic structure and how water moves through it

BIO-FX is built from inert ceramic with a deep pore structure and interconnected micro-tunnels through the pieces. The linked cavities let water flow freely and evenly instead of collecting in one spot, and they discourage blockages. Water travelling through the structure stays in contact with the ceramic for longer during filtration.

The pieces are ceramic and go in the filter as they come, with no bag or cartridge to open. Because the material is inert, the media does not alter water chemistry.

Rinsing and replacement

Fluval directs that you rinse the media monthly using aquarium water. Replace part of the BIO-FX every 6 months, so the filter keeps a share of the established media while the new pieces go in.

Where the media goes in the filter

BIO-FX goes at the final stage of filtration. The 5 L pack is sized for canister filters and sumps of all sizes, and the same media fits the FX series and the 07 series.

Does this media fit your filter?

Check the filter first: BIO-FX is for canister filters and sumps, and Fluval lists the FX series and the 07 series as compatible models. A filter outside those types or model lines is not covered.

The pack holds 5 L and weighs 2.84 kg (6.25 lb), with dimensions of 17 x 17 x 23 cm, so measure the media compartment before filling it.
