Hagen AquaClear Foam Filter Insert Review

Submitted by AquariumsLife.com on January 2, 2010 – 10:40 amNo Comment

AquaClear Foam FilterDESCRIPTION
The Hagen AquaClear Foam Filter Insert works through mechanical filtration, trapping debris and unwanted material. The foam is specially designed with optimum pore size for the most efficient filtration and amazing results. The Bio-Filtration Cycle Guard also ensures a constant cycle of beneficial bacteria to properly regulate the environment.


REVIEW
That will be a quick review because it’s just a foam block after all. I use them with all my Aqua Clear filter and also as a pre-filter. It work well and last forever. People from my LFS tells me to replace them once in a while but I don’t see why I should do that. I have been using the same foams for over 5 years without problem.
Because I am cheap and don’t like to buy new filtration media, they are the only media I use in my Aqua Clear. I fit three in the filter and live them there forever. All I have to do is to rince them once a month. I know they are made for mechanical filtration but they will also hold enough bacteria to do a good job.
