EHEIM Filter Cartridge Replacement For Pickup 200 (2 Pieces) (EM2617120)
Filter cartridges (2 pieces) for mechanical / biological filtration for internal filter Pickup 200 (type 2012)
In the porous foam, dirt particles are held. At the same time, the material provides a large surface area for bacterial colonization. Even after a short running-in period, the foam cartridges provide not only mechanical water clarification but also biological removal of pollutants.
The cartridges can be reused. For cleaning, rinse and squeeze them gently to remove debris without destroying the bacterial cultures.

These cartridges fit perfectly in my Pickup 200 filter. After installing them, my tank water became noticeably clearer. I rinse them every 3 weeks and haven’t had to replace them yet. The biological filtration helps keep the water stable.

Good quality foam that holds debris well. I noticed a difference in water clarity within a week. The bacteria build-up is visible after a few weeks. Just make sure to rinse gently to preserve the biofilm.

Easy to install and works well with my established filter system. The foam is durable and keeps the water clean without clogging. I’ve used them for over 3 months and still see good performance.
