Fluval's CLEANER Semi Annual Maintenance Instructions:This Semi Annual Maintenance Kit includes all Fluval recommends for semi-annual maintenance. This includes the Quick-Clear Water Polishing Pad & Carbon, which should be replaced every month, and the Bio-Foam Value Pack (Bio-Foam, Bio-Foam Max and Bio-Foam+), which should be replaced every six months. To this we've added the Ammonia Remover Pads, which should also be replaced every month if used. The Ammonia Pads are effective at reducing and controlling toxic ammonia spikes. By removing ammonia you will prevent it eventually turning into nitrate (which causes algae). Ideal for heavily stocked freshwater or saltwater aquariums.
Be sure to unplug your filter before cleaning.Replace your media with all the included media. Also replace any Phosphate and Nitrite pads you are using (all not included). You should replace only half of your BioMax every six months (BioMax included). If you're using BioTerra (not included) you'll also want to replace half. The Inland Seas Super Lube is for lubricating the Motor Head Gasket, AquaStop O-Ring Gaskets, and Primer Assembly with Primer Cover. Clean before lubricating.
