The 20 x 100cm sheet can be cut to size, making it a flexible choice for sump chambers, filter baskets, filter trays and other mechanical filtration areas. Key Features High-quality aquarium mechanical filter floss Dense non-woven fabric traps visible particles and debris Helps remove detritus, uneaten food and fish waste Improves water clarity and aquarium presentation Helps reduce waste before it breaks down into nitrate, ammonia and phosphate Can be cut to size for different filter systems Suitable for marine and freshwater aquariums Safe for fish and corals Contains no chemicals and does not affect water parameters 20 x 100cm sheet for flexible filter placement Product Overview Aquaforest AF Filter Floss has been developed for aquarists who want a simple and effective way to improve mechanical filtration. In any aquarium, fine waste particles can remain suspended in the water column, making the aquarium look dusty, cloudy or unpolished. If left to break down, this waste can also contribute to rising nutrient levels. This dense filtration fabric catches visible contamination as water passes through it, helping remove waste before it decomposes. Used correctly, AF Filter Floss supports cleaner water, improved clarity and better control of organic build-up in both freshwater and marine systems. Benefits for Aquariums Aquaforest AF Filter Floss helps improve aquarium clarity by physically trapping particles that biological and chemical filtration do not remove directly. This makes the aquarium look cleaner and allows fish, corals, plants and aquascaping to be viewed more clearly. By removing waste before it breaks down, filter floss can also help support better nutrient control. Detritus, leftover food and fish waste can contribute to nitrate, ammonia and phosphate if they remain in the system too long, so regular mechanical filtration and replacement are important parts of good aquarium maintenance. Suitable For Aquaforest AF Filter Floss is suitable for: Marine aquariums Reef aquariums Freshwater aquariums Planted aquariums Tropical community tanks Fish-only systems Aquarium sumps Filter baskets and filter trays Custom filtration compartments Aquariums needing improved water clarity This product is suitable for both freshwater and marine use and can be cut to fit many different filtration systems. How to Use Cut Aquaforest AF Filter Floss to the required size and place it in the mechanical filtration section of the aquarium filter or sump. Position the floss where aquarium water flows through it before reaching biological or chemical media where possible. This helps trap larger particles first and can help keep other filter media cleaner for longer. Do not pack the floss too tightly, as this may restrict water flow. Replace regularly once it becomes dirty or changes colour. Usage Advice For best results, check the filter floss frequently and replace it as soon as it becomes clogged, discoloured or heavily loaded with debris. Dirty filter floss should not be left in the filter for too long, as trapped waste can begin to break down and release nutrients back into the aquarium. Use alongside good biological filtration, regular water changes, suitable feeding, correct stocking levels and routine filter maintenance. Filter floss is a mechanical filtration product and should not be used as a replacement for biological media. When to Use Aquaforest AF Filter Floss is useful when: Aquarium water contains visible particles or floating debris A sump or filter needs extra mechanical filtration Detritus collects after maintenance or feeding Water appears dusty, dull or unclear Preparing an aquarium for photography or display Protecting biological media from excess debris Improving water clarity in marine or freshwater systems Maintaining reef, planted or fish-only aquariums Maintenance Advice Replace the filter floss regularly to maintain strong water flow and effective debris removal. Do not rinse and reuse heavily soiled floss if it has become compacted or clogged. Fresh floss will usually perform better and reduce the risk of trapped waste decomposing inside the filter. When maintaining the filter, avoid disturbing biological media unnecessarily.
