Bioscape Black Foam Intake Insert Velocity 2000 1Pk
Replacement intake foam for the Bioscape Velocity 2000 internal filter. This black particulate foam sits over the filter's intake, screening out debris before it reaches the impeller — the part to fit once the original foam is torn or too clogged to rinse clean.
Key features
- Sized for the Velocity 2000 only — the largest foam in the range (BIS169), matched to the 2,000 L/h Velocity 2000.
- Keeps the impeller clear — the 2000 moves more water than any other model in the range, so a torn or collapsed intake foam has the biggest effect on flow.
- Cheaper than a new filter — restores intake filtration without replacing the pump housing.

Which intake foam do I need?
This insert is sized for the Velocity 2000 specifically. If you're not sure which filter you've got, check the flow rating against this table:
| Filter model | Rated flow | Suits aquariums up to | Intake foam part |
|---|---|---|---|
| Velocity 400 (BIS160) | 400 L/h | 40 L | BIS165 |
| Velocity 700 (BIS161) | 700 L/h | 70 L | BIS165 |
| Velocity 1500 (BIS163) | 1,500 L/h | 150 L | BIS168 |
| Velocity 2000 (BIS164) | 2,000 L/h | 200 L | BIS169 (this product) |
Suitable for, and not suitable for
- Suitable for: the intake slots on the Bioscape Velocity 2000 internal filter, freshwater or saltwater.
- Not suitable for: the Velocity 400/700 (BIS165) or Velocity 1500 (BIS168) — too large to seat properly in the smaller filters' intake housing.
Care and maintenance
On a tank running near the 2000's 200 L ceiling, check it weekly — it's the highest-flow model in the range and the one most affected by a clogged intake. Rinse it in used tank water rather than tap water, which will kill off the bacteria living in it, and replace it once it won't spring back to an open texture.
Warranty and delivery
Sold as a standard replacement part; any fault on arrival is covered under your consumer guarantee rights under Australian Consumer Law. Ships as a small parcel.
Common questions
Does this fit the Velocity 1500?
No — the 1500 uses a smaller intake foam, BIS168. Check the flow rating printed on your filter before ordering.
How do I know I've got the 2000 and not the 1500?
Check the flow rate printed on the filter body — 2,000 L/h for this model against 1,500 L/h for the 1500.
How often should I replace it?
There's no fixed calendar interval published by Bioscape — rinse it regularly and replace it once it won't rinse back to an open texture or flow noticeably drops even after rinsing.
