Accessory Kit for Fil 130 and Fil 130+UV by sera — replacement media and parts

The Accessory Kit for Fil 130 and Fil 130+UV by sera provides replacement media and parts designed specifically for routine maintenance of sera Fil 130 series external aquarium filters. The kit contains consumable filter media and wearable components that restore mechanical and biological filtration performance after prolonged use, helping to maintain water clarity and stable conditions in freshwater aquaria. It is intended for users who perform regular servicing or need to replace cartridges, sponges, and other filter elements compatible with the Fil 130 family of models.

Advantages

This accessory kit gathers the commonly required replacement elements in a single package, reducing the need to source individual parts. Replacement media and parts are sized and shaped to match Fil 130 series housings and flow paths, which helps preserve intended flow rates and contact time for biological media. Using the correct replacement components supports mechanical removal of debris and continued colonisation by beneficial bacteria, contributing to more stable aquarium parameters and prolonged equipment life.

Suitable for

• Routine maintenance and scheduled cartridge replacement for sera Fil 130 and Fil 130+UV external filters
• Restoring flow and filtration efficiency after long-term use
• Freshwater aquarium setups requiring mechanical and biological filtration upkeep

Key specifications

• Replacement mechanical media: sponges and/or cartridge material sized for Fil 130 housings
• Replacement biological media: porous material compatible with external filter media baskets
• Replacement parts: wearable components that fit Fil 130 series assemblies (seals, small fittings where applicable)
• Intended use: freshwater aquaria with compatible external filter models
• Pack contents: a combination of consumable media and small spare parts tailored for filter maintenance

How to use

Turn off and disconnect the external filter from power and the aquarium before beginning maintenance. Open the filter housing according to the filter manual, remove the old media and inspect internal components for wear or blockage. Replace mechanical sponges and cartridge material with the corresponding items from the kit, position biological media in the designated basket or chamber, and refit any supplied seals or small parts. Reassemble the filter, reconnect hoses and power, and prime or restart the unit following the original filter instructions to ensure normal flow resumes.

Usage recommendations

Replace mechanical media more frequently than biological media: clean or change sponges when visibly clogged and replace biological media at longer intervals to preserve established beneficial bacteria. Always follow the maintenance schedule recommended for your specific Fil 130 model and inspect seals and fittings during each service to prevent leaks and maintain optimal filter performance.
