Compact filtration for small aquariums The Fluval 20 Media Maintenance Kit brings together three proven filter media in a compact package built for tanks up to 20 US gallons (75 L)

Each component works in harmony to support clean, healthy water without taking up precious space in your setup

What’s included BioMax Filter Insert provides an optimal environment for the colonization and growth of beneficial bacteria, essential for biological filtration and water purification

Activated Carbon Filter Insert helps improve water clarity in both fresh and saltwater setups and adsorption that can reduce odors and impurities

Foam Filter Insert acts as a mechanical filter that captures particles and debris, contributing to clearer water

How this filtration trio benefits your tank Biological filtration is supported by BioMax, which can foster a stable colony of helpful bacteria to digest waste products

The carbon layer can help keep the water looking brighter and smelling fresher, while the foam stage physically traps debris before it travels further through the filter

Together, these media aim to create a calmer, more predictable environment for your fish and plants
