## Long description

Exo Terra Bio-Foam is a replacement filter foam insert designed specifically for the AC50 aquarium filter. The sponge cartridge performs combined mechanical and biological filtration: it captures suspended debris while providing a porous surface for colonization by nitrifying bacteria. This cartridge is intended for routine maintenance and media replacement in compatible canister or internal filters to help maintain water clarity and a stable biological balance in planted and community aquariums.
Advantages
The foam insert balances particulate removal with high surface area for beneficial bacteria, supporting both immediate water clarity and ongoing biological filtration. Its resilient cell structure allows rinsing and reuse during regular maintenance cycles without rapid breakdown. The open-cell design promotes water flow through the cartridge, reducing clogging and helping to preserve filter performance between cleanings.
Suitable for
Routine replacement of filter media in AC50-compatible aquarium filters
Mechanical removal of suspended particles and detritus
Providing surface area for nitrifying bacterial colonization
Freshwater community and planted aquariums requiring biological stability
Key specifications
Material: open-cell polyurethane foam designed for aquarium filtration
Function: combined mechanical and biological filtration
Physical form: sponge cartridge sized to fit AC50 filter compartments
Reusable: can be rinsed and reused during maintenance cycles
Porosity: medium-to-high porosity to balance debris capture and water flow
How to use
Turn off the filter and remove the existing foam cartridge according to the filter manufacturer's instructions. Rinse the new foam insert briefly in dechlorinated aquarium water to remove any packaging residue, then place it into the filter compartment in the same orientation as the original cartridge. Reassemble the filter and restart it, monitoring flow to ensure correct installation. During routine maintenance, rinse the foam insert in tank water to remove accumulated debris; avoid using tap water with chlorine as this can damage beneficial bacteria.
Usage recommendations
Replace or deep-clean the foam insert as part of regular filter maintenance every 4–8 weeks or sooner if flow is noticeably reduced. For initial setup, monitor ammonia and nitrite levels after installation until the bacterial colony stabilizes. Combine with additional chemical media only if specific water parameters require adjustment.
