This foam is very effective, it allows bacteria to develop with ease. In fact, the standard foam for Aquael Ultramax filter will allow the proliferation and maintenance of bacteria.

Filtration plays a very important role in aquarium keeping. Indeed, it is partly filtration which will help preserve a healthy environment in the aquarium and therefore the good health of the fish. It is therefore important to renew your filter materials regularly. As soon as a cartridge, foam or filter block becomes deformed, it is time to change it! If you see the filter flow reducing, cleaning is necessary! A poorly maintained filter can be dangerous so be vigilant.

Do not hesitate to take your time with this operation and plan it in advance so as not to stress your fish too much.

Aquatic equipment tip:

To ensure your filter is as effective as quickly as possible, soak your standard Ultramax foam in your aquarium water 24 hours before changing. this will allow bacteria from the aquarium to begin to settle into the foam block. This way, the biological filtration will have already started and will prevent it from taking too long. It’s a considerable time saver and very pleasant! A tip that you can use to change all your filter materials.

Finally, to maintain optimal filtering power, change your standard foams every 4 to 6 weeks. Do not hesitate to use plants which also have filtering power because they feed on nitrates. Also note that you can clean your filter every 1 to 2 weeks. Then pass the foams under water without using any particular products and without pressing them. The objective is to simply remove the waste stuck in the foam block of the filter.

The standard filter foam pack designed for Ultramax filters represents an exceptional solution for maintaining the efficiency of your filtration system. These filter foams are both high performance and economical, guaranteeing a favorable environment for both your fish and your shrimp.
