Fluval's 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.
Also included are the Ammonia Remover, Phosphate Remover & Nitrite Remover. These are all optional pads, but if you use them they should be replaced monthly.
Be sure to unplug your filter before cleaning.Replace your media with all the included media. You should replace only half of your bio media (BioMax or BIO-FX) every six months. 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.
This is the High Performance Kit because it includes the BIO-FX instead of BioMax. This Fluval product is vastly superior to the BioMax that comes with the Fluval Filters. Essentially, it has much, much surface area to cultivate beneficial bacteria.
The MarineAndReef.com Aquarium Cleaning Towel is a durable, lint-free microfiber towel. 19" X 15".
