Fluval Nitrite Remover Pads for 106/107 & 206/207 canister filters – Pack of 3
Fluval Nitrite Pads (SKU: FA146) are advanced chemical pads designed for Fluval 106, 107, 206, and 207 canister filters. Infused with specialised nitrite-binding resins, these pads trap and remove toxic nitrite (NO₂⁻) ions from aquarium water. Nitrite toxicity interferes with oxygen transport in fish blood; these pads serve as an effective safeguard during the second phase of the nitrogen cycle or during bio-filter disruptions.
