Dominic Arnold –
The foam pads fit perfectly in my Fluval FX5 filter. After installing them, I noticed a significant improvement in water clarity and less fish odor. Works well in both freshwater and saltwater setups. Easy to install and lasts longer than the original filter media.

I used this with my FX4 and found it effective at trapping fine particles. The carbon helps reduce the smell in the tank, especially after feeding. The 2-pack is convenient for replacing pads when they wear out.

Great product for maintaining water quality. The foam traps debris efficiently and the carbon helps eliminate unpleasant odors. I’ve used it in a 55-gallon saltwater tank with good results.
