It's for freshwater use only. It's designed to sit loose or bagged in the media basket of a Fluval external canister filter; Fluval doesn't publish a specific model-by-model fit list for this media, so check that your filter has a chemical media stage or basket before buying, and use a mesh media bag if your basket doesn't hold loose media.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo media in one\u003c\/strong\u003e — activated carbon plus a zeolite ammonia remover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClears odour, discolouration and dissolved impurities\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinds ammonia\u003c\/strong\u003e from the water column\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree pack sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — 450 g (3 x 150 g bags), 1200 g and 2100 g — to match your filter size and number of tanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications by pack size\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePack size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSKU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFormat\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFits\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eReplacement interval\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e450 g\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFA63\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 x 150 g nylon bags\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFluval canister filters 103\/104\/105, 203\/204\/205, 303\/304\/305, 403\/404\/405 (mid or lower media basket) and FX5 (top or middle media basket)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReplace monthly as a general guide, more often in heavily stocked tanks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e1200 g\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFA64\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle bulk-fill container\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSame filter range as the 450 g pack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReplace monthly as a general guide, more often in heavily stocked tanks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e2100 g\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFA67\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle bulk-fill container\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSame filter range as the 450 g pack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReplace monthly as a general guide, more often in heavily stocked tanks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFluval doesn't publish a different tank-litre or filter-model rating for each pack size — all three sizes share the same filter compatibility and replacement guidance above.
