Helps keep my turtle tank clean!

I have a Fluval U2 filter for a 10 gallon aquarium where I keep a red-eared turtle. I change every 3-4 weeks. It works surprisingly well, Red Ear Slider turtles are messy. One box contains enough to fill my filter twice.

Pros
  • Sleek Design
Cons
  • ---

Causes limescale on glass

My Fluval filter had room for this material. So I replaced it with this product. I use a filter for a shallow turtle tank. As a result, so much ugly limescale is deposited on the tank glass, which means double the cleaning work. From that moment I stopped using Biomax.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Obsolete

Excellent price and quality!

I bought this for my Fluval Edge and although it mostly fell apart in the box I was able to find a method that works for me and my tank. After a thorough rinse, before replacing the old Biomax, I cut out some replacement white filter foam, which is much thinner than the original Fluval filter foam, and fold it in there to keep it from dangling in my gray plastic filter holder. I can't put too much in because there isn't enough space in the holder. for everything the tank needs, but I get enough

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Good but not great

If you buy U4, make sure you get a box

The Fluval U4 does not come with enough ceramic media, so it's a good idea to get an extra one if you're going to buy one. A box is more than enough to fill a cartridge and it seems to be of better quality than mine despite being the same brand. The ceramic media comes in a mesh/mesh bag which needs to be cut open for use in the U4 or can be used in other types of filters entirely. Its pleasant filler, porosity and pieces are almost the perfect size and shape for medium sized filters. I have…

Pros
  • . Change price

Fluval U BioMax underwater filter works as expected with my Fluval U filters It's the largest pack I've seen so I always buy it here at Revain for the price, not the local fish shop. I have Revain Prime so I get 2 days free shipping and I don't have to pay to have my orders shipped which is great. If Fluval made them in a larger quantity I would buy these. Make sure you only remove half of the biomedium when cleaning or changing the filter to ensure you maintain adequate bacterial counts in the

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
