Ceramic media doesn't wear out the way mechanical pads do; most aquarists replace only a portion at a time, staggered over successive cleans, so the filter's bacterial colony is never reset all at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSuitable for, and not suitable for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable for G3 and G6 owners topping up or replacing biological media, and for anyone setting up a new G-series filter from empty. Not suitable as a mechanical or chemical stage on its own — pair it with the filter's foam and, if needed, carbon or another chemical media for a complete setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCovered by Fluval's standard replacement-parts warranty against manufacturing defects, in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
