Zanyzap 6 Carbon Impregnated Foam Pads for Fluval FX4 / FX5 / FX6 Canister Filter

Bottle came opened and damaged my other staff

These ARE NOT carbon impregnated filter pads! You can see right through them and they look the same as the bio filter pads but painted black. What a scam!

The only way to buy them!!!

Carbon is seldom needed. You are almost better without it. This a a great option for a FX 6 filter. Place it last in the bin, just to protect the impeller from possible debris from your media. Replace it one a month. Carbon depletes quickly in this scenario, the foam is just impregnated with carbon. The amount of carbon you actually need for a large tank 75 gallons + is quite a lot. This amount of carbon is just enough to possibly remove medicine after treatments and the more obvious benefit is better smelling tank. It is a great option to just protect your impeller. As for actually making your water clear the bigger the tank the more carbon and the dirtier the tank the more carbon. It works great for my purpose. Nothing works better than regular water changes, and keeping water parameters in check. I have a 150 gallon tank with a single FX6 and 30+ African Cichlids and still need to get more. For clearer water use filter floss and water changes not this.

Works as well as my old system of charcoal in bags and takes like 99% less time to change the filter. Worth the higher cost to charcoal.

Great item

THESE PADS SAVE A LOT OF TIME INSTEAD OF CUTTING THEM YOURSELF......THESE ARE WAY CHEAPER THAN THE ORIGINAL FLUVAL PADS....QUICK DELIVERY....GREAT PRICE

I am very happy with my purchase!

They are a little more porous and hard than the fluval branded ones, but should do the trick. And much cheaper.

So far, so good. Working as expected. Has helped keep my tank clear.
