The Tetra EX plus filters contain a complete system for biological, mechanical & chemical water purification. The water in the aquarium therefore remains clear & healthy, promoting the well-being of fish & plants: Tetra filter materials are specially developed for the Tetra EX & EX Plus external filter range. When combined appropriately, you can ensure aquarium water that's suitable for both fish & plants. Tetra FF Filter Floss The Tetra FF Filter Floss reliably removes very fine particles of waste & should be the last filter material to be used. It should be rinsed in warm water prior to use. The filter floss should be regularly replaced (every 4-8 weeks), to ensure optimal filtration. Size S is for the filters EX 600 Plus, EX 800 Plus, as well as EX 400, 600 & 700. Size L is for EX 1200 Plus & EX 1200. Tetra CF Carbon Filter Medium: The Tetra CF Carbon Filter Medium reliably removes organic contaminants, reduces odours & water discolouration. The highly active material can be used in both fresh & saltwater. The carbon filter medium should be replaced every 2-4 weeks & washed in warm water prior to use. The carbon filter medium is suitable for all Tetra EX & EX Plus external filters, but may also be used in other external filters. Tetra BF Biological Filter Foam: The highly active biological filter foam provides a large surface area for the cultivation of helpful bacteria that remove harmful substances like ammonium & nitrite. It also provides mechanical filtration of medium-sized particles from the water. It should be washed in warm water prior to use. The biological filter foam should be checked every 6 months & cleaned if necessary. It is recommendable to replace it every 12 months.
