FilterMedia

The Exo Terra Repti Clear F250 and F350 Terrarium Filter provides

3-stage ﬁltration. The large foam captures and removes large

particulate matter and debris and enhances biological ﬁltration, the

smaller foam captures smaller, ﬁner particulate matter; and the

carbon cartridge helps improve water clarity, color and smell.

The foam pads will gradually ﬁll with trapped debris and require

rinsing. Re-using the foam can help protect the bacterial colonies

and provide continual biological ﬁltration. Foam pads should be

rinsed at least once a month, more often if necessary.

It is not recommended to rinse the foam directly in tap or well water,

as the water contains chemicals that make it unsafe to reptiles and

amphibians. As a precaution, the foam should always be rinsed

in de-chlorinated water. To do this, ﬁll a container with water and

then treat the water with a water conditioner such as Exo Terra

Aquatize to neutralize the chemicals. Once the water has been

de-chlorinated, you can then rinse the foam. (note: this procedure is

also recommended when replacing with new foam).

Filter media (foam pads, carbon cartridge) should be replaced every

6-8 weeks to ensure proper functioning of the ﬁlter, more often if

necessary. Never rinse or replace all ﬁlter media at the same time,

alternate rinsing/replacement of ﬁlter media.

Replacement Filter Foam and Carbon cartridges can be purchased

from your local Exo Terra dealer or pet retailer.
