Three pre-bagged activated carbon inserts sized to drop straight into an AquaClear media basket. Carbon is what clears yellowing and takes odours out of the water, and buying three at a time means you are not caught short at the next change. It is a consumable, not a one-off purchase: Fluval says replace every four weeks, and after that the insert is doing nothing but occupying a basket slot.
Each pack holds three inserts, so it covers roughly three months of changes on a single-carbon filter. The equivalent carbon-plus-Clearmax media is the AquaClear Clear Carb Insert.
Features
