Engineered to create superior water quality, the Fluval C3 Power Filter provides extensive 5-stage filtration& 150 two mechanical, one chemical and two biological stages& 150 for outstanding results. The Power Filter is designed to provide maximum surface area and optimum dwell times in all stages of the filtration process. Rigorous 2-stage mechanical filtration is performed by a thick layer of poly/foam that effectively traps large and fine debris. The foam slides out easily for quick cleaning. Activated carbon, located in an easily-manageable and removable basket, performs thorough chemical filtration and effectively removes toxins. In the final two stages, a Bio-Screen pad provides massive biological surface area for friendly bacteria to colonize, plus it blocks debris from entering a trickle chamber filled with C-Nodes that are super-charged for fast and efficient nitrification. The result is clean, clear and healthy water for aquarium life to thrive in. KEY FEATURES - Extensive 5-stage filter produces clean, clear and healthy water for aquarium life to thrive - Provide maximum surface area and optimum dwell times in all stages of the filtration process - Two mechanical, one chemical and two biological filter chambers 2-stage mechanical filtration effectively traps large and fine debris - Foam slides out easily for quick cleaning - Activated carbon performs thorough chemical filtration and effectively removes toxins - Bio-Screen pad provides massive biological surface area for friendly bacteria to colonize - Trickle chamber filled with C-Nodes are super-charged for fast and efficient nitrification - Features a patented refiltration control system that lets you slow down the water output, creating a gentle flow to protect delicate fish and plants - Slower water circulation increases water dwell time in the filter, resulting in cleaner aquarium water - Completely modular design allows you to manage each stage separately and make changes at different times to maintain continuous biological activity for a stress-free environment
