How to Use

  1. Rinse FilterMAX thoroughly with water before first use to remove fine dust.
  2. Place it in your filter immediately after the mechanical filtration stage for best results.
  3. For faster cycling, squeeze an already-colonized sponge into the tank and let the filter absorb the bacteria.
  4. Clean the external filter every 3–6 months to keep it running efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much FilterMAX do I need for my aquarium?

One liter of FilterMAX is enough for a 100-liter aquarium. For larger tanks, scale proportionally (e.g., 2 liters for 200 liters).

Can I use FilterMAX in a saltwater tank?

Yes. FilterMAX works equally well in freshwater and saltwater aquariums.

Does FilterMAX need to be replaced?

No. It's a 100% natural, reusable filter medium and can be used indefinitely if rinsed and maintained properly.

Where should I place FilterMAX in my filter?

Immediately after the mechanical filtration stage (sponge or filter floss), so it isn't clogged by debris.

Is it safe to turn off the filter for cleaning?

Avoid leaving the filter off for more than 5–6 hours, as this can cause the beneficial bacteria colony to die off.

MasterLine FilterMAX is the ideal biological filter media for maintaining stable, healthy water parameters in any freshwater or saltwater aquarium.
