• Aquael FZN Mini PhosMAX Media Pack – Dual‑Action Phosphate & Algae Control for Your Aquarium
The Aquael FZN Mini PhosMAX Media Pack is crafted for Aquael Versamax Mini filters, offering a sophisticated blend of mechanical, biological, and chemical filtration. Foam and fleece capture fine suspended solids; a porous sponge nurtures nitrifying bacteria, and the PhosMAX miniature balls actively absorb phosphates, one of the primary culprits of unwanted algae. By reducing phosphate load, the Media Pack keeps your tank’s water crystal‑clear and promotes a healthier environment for fish and plants alike.
Enjoy a low‑maintenance solution that delivers consistent performance: each pack contains three replaceable cartridges, ensuring that you can keep your filter operating at peak efficiency without frequent intervention.

How to Use This Filter Cartridge
- Turn off the Aquael Versamax Mini filter and remove the existing cartridge.
- Open the new 3‑cartridge pack and carefully slide a cartridge into the filter housing, ensuring it sits flush.
- Replace the filtered cartridge set with the new one, re‑inserting all three pieces.
- Turn the filter back on and let it run for at least 24 hours to allow the sponge to fully colonise with nitrifying bacteria.
- Monitor the water for clarity; when phosphate levels drop, replace the pack to maintain optimal clarity.
Care & Maintenance Tips
- Inspect the cartridge for obvious wear or blockage every 4–6 weeks.
- Replace the full pack when you notice a gradual decline in water clarity or a measurable rise in phosphate readings.
- Do not remove the sponge layer prematurely, as it houses beneficial bacteria crucial for nitrogen cycling.
- Store spare cartridges in a cool, dry place to preserve the integrity of PhosMAX materials.
- Follow regular tank maintenance (water changes, protein skimming) to complement the Media Pack’s filtration.
