PRODUCT Details

The Eheim Foam Cartridge PickUp 160 is the official replacement foam insert designed specifically for the Eheim PickUp 160 internal filter. Over time, filter sponges become clogged with waste and lose efficiency. Replacing yours with a fresh Eheim Foam Cartridge PickUp 160 helps restore strong flow, effective mechanical filtration and stable biological filtration in your aquarium.
Made from high‑quality, porous foam, the Eheim Foam Cartridge PickUp 160 captures suspended particles while offering a large surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonise. This combination supports clear water, stable water parameters and a healthier environment for fish and shrimp.

Why Choose the Eheim Foam Cartridge PickUp 160

  • The porous structure provides excellent biological filtration
  • A new Eheim Foam Cartridge PickUp 160 helps restore flow rate and overall filter performance

When to Replace the Eheim Foam Cartridge PickUp 160

For best results, the Eheim Foam Cartridge PickUp 160 should be:
  • Rinsed in old tank water during regular maintenance to remove accumulated debris
  • Replaced periodically when the foam becomes worn, loses its shape or stays heavily clogged even after rinsing
Regularly refreshing the Eheim Foam Cartridge PickUp 160 helps maintain stable filtration, reduces strain on the filter motor and supports a clean, healthy aquarium.

Replacing the Eheim Foam Cartridge PickUp 160 is simple:

  2. Remove the filter from the aquarium and open the housing.
  3. Take out the old Eheim Foam Cartridge PickUp 160.
  4. If needed, gently rinse the filter housing in old tank water.
  5. Insert the new Eheim Foam Cartridge PickUp 160 into the housing.
  6. Reassemble the filter, place it back into the aquarium and plug it back in.
To protect beneficial bacteria, avoid replacing all filter media at once in heavily stocked tanks.
