Fluval G-Series Aquarium Filters
CHEMICAL FILTRATION
During the subsequent chemical filtration, all water flowing through the G filter passes through the chemical media cartridge. The Fluval G offers a combination of media options to make chemical filtration simpler and more efficient. Featuring high-capacity ionic exchange filtration media, the system will efficiently remove nitrates, phosphates and waste. For pure consumer flexibility, the chemical cartridges can be refilled with any type media the aquarium owner chooses. Regardless of chemical media type the design of the chemical cartridge and subsequent water flow ensures maximum water contact resulting in a highly efficient filtration process.
Fluval G3 / G6 Phosphate Cartridge
 The Fluval G3 Phosphate cartridge is for use with the Fluval G3 Advanced Filter and will rapidly remove up to 2200 mg of phosphate ion from marine or fresh water aquaria. The Fluval G6 Phosphate cartridge is for use with the Fluval G6 Advanced Filter and will rapidly remove up to 3900 mg of phosphate ion from marine or fresh water aquaria.
In a 300 / 600 L freshwater aquarium with an excess concentration of 1-2 mg/L phosphate concentration, the use of phosphate cartridge will remove all the excess of phosphate within 1 or 2 days. If left in the filter it will sustain a low phosphate level for a period of time that is strictly dependent on the type of aquarium (quantity and type of fish, type of fish food and so on). Phosphate is irreversibly trapped bound and will not leach back into aquarium water. The continuous use of the Fluval G Phosphate cartridge in aquariums with persistent phosphate problems is an effective solution against phosphate build up. If used as a quick solution to reduce elevated phosphate concentration the cartridge can be removed once levels have normalized and then stored until required.
It is suggested to regularly monitor the phosphate concentration in the aquarium water; when the concentration value starts to rise, it is time to use or replace the cartridge to ensure the continuous protection against phosphate accumulation. |
