Fluval20 Media Maintenance Kit

Fit and size

The 3pk is amazing but not if you get something like this sent to you. Fluval is an amazing high end brand and is great for a first time fish owner. I would not recommend buying from Amazon because it seems they do not check their returns that well.

Received wrong package. Had to cut foam piece. Rest seemed fit well

First of all, the box was damaged, had been overstuffed, and the top taped. When I went to use it, the sponge wasn't the size it was supposed to be. It looked like it had been taken from another kit (not the size I needed) and stuffed in. I was only able to use two of the three parts. I couldn't return the item as I needed it as I was in the process of cleaning the fish tank. Sorely disappointed.

I preferred the old separate products vs the combined products but at least I can still get the needed items.

Perfect fit

I got AquaClear, but since it’s the same parent company it should still work fine. I had to research that though and it would have been great to get the item is listed and that I thought I was purchasing instead of an (albeit suitable) alternative.

The items you will recieve are clearly bot Fluval. They fit a Fluval 20 but aren't what is currently pictured by Amazon. Bait and switch.

As an aquarium enthusiast, maintaining a clean and healthy environment for my fish is paramount. The Fluval AquaClear Biomax Maintenance Kit has proven to be an invaluable addition to my aquarium maintenance routine. Here’s my detailed review after using this product:Packaging and Contents:The kit includes three essential components for comprehensive filtration:1. **Biomax**: Porous ceramic rings that provide an extensive surface area for beneficial bacteria to thrive, which is crucial for biological filtration.2. **Activated Carbon**: Helps to remove impurities, odors, and discolorations from the water.3. **Foam Block**: Acts as a mechanical filter, capturing debris and particles.Installation:The setup is straightforward and fits perfectly into my AquaClear filter. The foam block slides in first, followed by the activated carbon in its mesh bag, and finally the Biomax rings. The mesh bags are well-constructed, ensuring that no media escapes into the tank.Performance:- **Mechanical Filtration**: The foam block effectively traps large particles and debris, preventing them from clogging the finer filtration stages.- **Chemical Filtration**: The activated carbon does a commendable job of keeping the water crystal clear, free from any unwanted odors and discoloration.- **Biological Filtration**: The Biomax rings provide ample surface area for the growth of beneficial bacteria, which is essential for breaking down harmful ammonia and nitrites.Effectiveness:After a few weeks of using this kit, I noticed a significant improvement in water clarity and overall tank health. My fish seem more active and the water parameters have remained stable. The three-stage filtration process ensures that both visible and invisible impurities are effectively removed.Longevity:Each component of the kit is durable. The foam block can be rinsed and reused multiple times before needing replacement, while the Biomax rings have a long lifespan. The activated carbon will need to be replaced monthly, but this is standard for any carbon media. Value for Money:Considering the comprehensive filtration and the improved health of my aquarium, the Fluval AquaClear Biomax Maintenance Kit offers excellent value for money. The initial cost is justified by the extended lifespan and effectiveness of the media.Conclusion:The Fluval AquaClear Biomax Maintenance Kit is an excellent choice for anyone looking to maintain a clean and healthy aquarium. Its three-stage filtration system ensures superior water quality, making it a reliable and cost-effective solution. I highly recommend this product to both novice and experienced aquarists.

Worked just as good as the brand name filters

Excelent.

The sponge filter doesn’t fit

The carbon filter rusted within 24hours… there shouldn’t be anything that would rust in a carbon filter… extremely disappointment, my fish are acting sick and my whole tank is orange!!! Please take warning!!!!!
