How to Use Aqueon Phosphate Remover Filter Pads Effectively? (Directions for Use)

1. Rinse the filter pad under cool running water to remove any dust or loose particles before use.
2. Insert into the Bio-Media Grid of your Aqueon QuietFlow LED PRO Power Filter.
3. Monitor water clarity and algae levels to determine when replacement is necessary.

What Are the Ingredients or Materials Used?

• Specialized phosphate-absorbing resin media
• Durable aquarium-grade polyester fiber
• Free from harmful chemicals or additives that can harm aquatic life

These components ensure safe, effective removal of phosphates without altering the pH or disrupting beneficial bacteria.

Are There Any Side Effects of Using Phosphate Remover Pads?

When used as directed, Aqueon Phosphate Remover Pads are safe for all types of freshwater and saltwater aquariums. However:

• Do not use excessively in planted tanks as phosphates are also a macronutrient for aquatic plants.
• Over-filtration may lead to nutrient imbalances, potentially affecting sensitive plant or coral species.

What Warnings or Precautions Should You Consider?

• Always rinse filter pads before initial use to prevent cloudiness.
• Use only with Aqueon QuietFlow LED PRO Filters to ensure proper fit and function.
• Do not use the same filter pad beyond the recommended duration—efficacy diminishes over time.
