Fluval Bio-Foam combines mechanical and biological filtration. Its porous structure increases surface area for the growth of helpful nitrifying bacteria. In addition, it traps small particles that are not retained by the first stage of foam filtration.
Features include:
- Enhances biological filtration
- Effectively captures small particles
and debris - For freshwater and marine environments
Product Benefits:
- Numerous grooves maximize the surface
area for beneficial bacterial colonization. - Adds a second layer of mechanical
filtration.
A236 includes:
1 Bio-Foam piece that fits into the bottom
basket of Fluval Canister Filters 104, 105,
106, 204, 205 & 206.
