Aqua One Blue Sponge Pads for Ocellaris 3000UV 141s - 2 pack
A Pack of two Aqua One 141s blue, coarse replacement sponge pads to suit the Aqua One Ocellaris 3000UV external filters. The 141s sponge should be changed every four to six months for a new one. Inbetween its fine to rinse the 141s sponge out in a little aquarium water at clean out time.
Function -141s
The Aqua One 141s Blue sponge pad is designed solely to fit the new Ocellaris 3000UV external canister filter. The 141s is a coarser, open cell sponge. It acts to collect solid waste (thereby preventing the finer 142s and 141w being blocked prematurely) and also provides a culture medium for essential aerobic filtration bacteria
Effect on Flow Rate
Because the 141s is constructed from quite fine sponge it will reduce the flow rate of yourOcellaris 3000UV until quite blocked and dirty.
Lifespan
The 141s should last several months of average use and may be rinsed in a little aquarium water at filter clean out time (the dirty water should then be discarded). Older 141s sponge inserts tend to let more debris through than is ideal, for this reason we suggest replacing it every four to six months.
Pack size
Two 141s are provided per pack. Making a pack last between eight and twelve months. Heavily stocked aquariums may shorten this life span – do what is required to keep your Aqua One Ocellaris 3000UV filtering effectively.
Use With
The Aqua One 141s Sponge Pad works best with the Aqua One 141w Polymer Wool Pad, the 142s black sponge pad and, of course, Aqua One’s Bionoodles 600g. Inserting a bag of Aqua One’s Advance Carbon 450g between the Aqua One 141w Polymer Wool Pad and the 142s black sponge pad in the top filter tray can bring large benefits in terms of clearer, odour free aquarium water – well worth doing in our view.
