Exo Terra replacement smooth foam for internal filter Repti Clear F350 (filter sponge)

Replacement smooth foam cartridge designed specifically for the Exo Terra Repti Clear F350 internal aquarium filter. This smooth foam acts as mechanical filtration media, capturing debris and suspended particles to improve water clarity and protect downstream biological media. It is intended for routine maintenance and periodic sponge replacement to help maintain consistent filter performance and overall aquarium hygiene.

Advantages

The smooth foam is made to fit the Repti Clear F350 and provides efficient mechanical filtration without impeding water flow. Its open-cell structure traps particulate matter while being easy to rinse and reuse during scheduled maintenance. By preventing larger debris from reaching the biological media, the foam helps maintain effective biological filtration and reduces the frequency of deep cleaning cycles.

Suitable for

• Internal aquarium filtration in Exo Terra Repti Clear F350 units
• Routine sponge replacement and scheduled maintenance
• Improving water clarity by removing suspended solids
• Protecting biological media from clogging with debris

Key specifications

• Type: smooth foam mechanical filter media
• Compatibility: designed for internal Repti Clear F350 filter
• Function: traps debris and particulate matter, protects biological media
• Maintenance: washable and reusable for multiple cleanings
• Material characteristics: open-cell foam with low flow resistance

How to use

Turn off the filter and carefully remove the internal cartridge housing according to the filter manufacturer's instructions. Remove the existing foam and insert the replacement smooth foam cartridge ensuring correct orientation and secure placement. Rinse the new foam briefly with aquarium or dechlorinated water before installation to remove any manufacturing dust. Reassemble the filter and restart, checking for normal flow and proper seating.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the foam during regular maintenance intervals and rinse it in aquarium or dechlorinated water rather than tap water if possible to preserve beneficial bacteria. Replace the foam when it shows signs of permanent clogging, tearing, or when water flow and clarity no longer recover after cleaning.
