## Long description

Hagen FLUVAL ammonia-removal insert, 540 g cartridge is a dedicated filter media designed to reduce dissolved ammonia in freshwater and marine aquaria. The cartridge contains a high-capacity sorbent media formulated to capture and neutralize ammonia, providing targeted chemical filtration for compatible Fluval filter units. It is intended as a replacement media for routine maintenance or as a short-term treatment following overfeeding, overstocking, or other events that cause elevated ammonia levels.
Advantages
The cartridge provides concentrated ammonia-removal capability in a compact form factor that fits specified Fluval filter housings. Its 540 g media load offers extended contact time and capacity compared with smaller inserts, helping to stabilize water chemistry and reduce the frequency of emergency interventions. The insert is simple to install and replace, allowing predictable maintenance without modification of existing filtration setups.
