Effective Mechanical and Biological Filtration
These filter foams are specially designed for the Eheim PickUp 160 internal filter. They trap suspended dirt particles (mechanical filtration) while providing a large surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonize (biological filtration). This helps break down harmful substances like ammonia and nitrite in your aquarium water.
Easy Maintenance and Replacement
Maintaining these filter foams is very straightforward. During a water change, you can gently rinse the foam in a bucket of old aquarium water to remove coarse dirt without killing the bacterial colony. Since this set includes two pieces, you always have a spare ready when the old foam eventually loses its shape and elasticity.
Frequently asked questions
How often should I replace the filter foam?
This depends on your aquarium's bioload, but on average, a foam lasts several months. Only replace it when the foam loses its shape or clogs up quickly even after being rinsed.
Can I rinse the foam under tap water?
It is best to rinse the foam in a bucket of aquarium water you have just siphoned off. Tap water contains chlorine and has a different temperature, which can kill the beneficial bacteria in the foam.
Does this foam also fit the Eheim PickUp 200?
No, these specific filter foams are cut precisely to size for the Eheim PickUp 160. Other models require a different size.
