Important Chemical Filtration Note
Fluval Max-Clean is chemical filter media, not biological media. It can help reduce some dissolved compounds, odors, and discoloration, but it should be used with mechanical and biological filtration for complete aquarium filter support.
For reef aquariums or aquariums with sensitive livestock, always check the product packaging and monitor water parameters carefully before using chemical media.
