I use it to replace the filter in my fish tank.

I buy a roll a few times a year, cut it up in rectangles and use it along with other foam media in my hang on filters. It can also be used around an intake filter for odd ends. They go in white and come out brown. Because of the low price I usually throw out the rectangle and replace it instead of rinsing and reusing. It helps keep the other foam media from building up as well. Before I found this, I spent a lot more money buying other things that the pet store tells you to buy which don’t last as long.

This pad works well for cleaning and polishing in the filter. Have a bit of a hard time when I try to cut it to fit my Seachem Tidal, but I get it close to size. Will buy again.

Works like it says. Clears your water and filters great.

Keeps my reef aquarium water crystal clear. With a heavy bio load it will clog up in about 1 week. Rinses easily for about 3 uses before I need to replace it. I use this filter pad to save money, then when I am traveling I switch back to filter socks (still from Aquatic Experts) and the socks will last about 30days before needing to be cleaned. Filter socks have way more surface area so it’s expected they’ll last longer than these pads. My tank: 120gal fully stocked reef aquarium running 5years.

This product is great for the money. I use this in my Marineland Emperor 400 HOB filter. I used to have two filters on my 45 gallon tank, but after using this in addition to my regular filter media, I dont need a second HOB filter. The water is amazingly clear! I also use this in my Eheim Quick Vac. I noticed that even though the mesh in the vacuum is very fine, a lot of stuff escapes the mesh back into the tank. I remove the filter canister and cut a piece of this pad to fit the canister. I shove it in there, and when I vacuum the tank, the water flowing back into the tank is filtered, no poop or gunk going back in the tank. Overall, very happy with this filter pad.

Filter media work well for saltwater and freshwater aquariums. I have used it for several months and really like how clean it keeps the water.

Updated review MAR 2019 - cut material and utilized on HOB filters, and have cleaned every 3 days for a month, A better media than disposable. Used in wet/dry sump, and just added to canister filter trays in conjunction with bio-sponges, will add rating and function review after a month of using in three Penn Plax canister filter trays, 700, 1000, & 1200 versus the disposable replacements. Updated review AUG 2018 - Had tested three other high quality filter media with different levels of micron, and this is the most versatile, since the media is about 3/4 inches thick and allows high flow with a high rate of filtration. because of the bonded dual micron filter media. Having utilized the single layer media, there is no comparison to the function of the layered. Very high quality material compared to the original provided with my wet/dry (fresh water) sump filter. It does appear this material can be rinsed and re-used, if customer wanted to do that to extend life and reduce waste. Easy to cut with a good pair of sharp scissors, for custom size. For optimum cleaning, use an outside water hose with a nozzle. But then rinse in your water out of the aquarium to clean anything from the tap water. Previous purchase and review - Utilized in a salt water type, 75 gallon aquarium, for large Cichlids (fresh water), with a fine sand media. This is a first purchase of this product, and was concerned of receiving a inferior product at this price, but was pleasantly surprised with the superior quality of this product. This does well with cleaning and continued use, but can be disposable.

I have 2 tanks. A 10 gallon that Ive had since the 70s (it is just fine; a few betas that live happy and healthy with a 20 gallon Aqueon filter) and a 40 gallon breeder tank I have for 5 big goldfish. Goldfish are pigs, and dirty. I was going through Aqueon 30 gallon filters like crazy. I have 2 hanging in this tank. I was even washing them off weekly and refilling them with charcoal and ammonia absorb every other week. It got to the point that I couldnt get the water clear anymore and I just didnt have the extra funds anymore to keep purchasing the boxes of filters I needed. I just got this roll last week. I put it in the filters Thursday evening and when I got up Friday morning, my water was crystal clear! I did refill the old, ratty, thin, falling apart filters with charcoal and ammonia absorb (kept the worn out ones for spares when doing water changes). Its been 4 days and no clouding in the pigfish tank yet. I just fed them an hour ago and the water is back to normal clear already. I dont care what anyone says, you feed the fish flakes and the water gets a tad cloudy. This is now my filter fluff. Mind you, I did try that blue and white filter stuff I got at the local fish store for a month. Nada, zilch, nugga. I now use that for cleaning the walls of the tank. One more thing. When I do my water changes, I water my indoor plants. I’ve had mega basil, oregano, parsley, mint and thyme all winter long (pizza and mojitos). The aquarium water also does wonders for all my other flowers, plants and trees. Don’t waste the aquaponics water!

I have been using this media for months. I have multiple canister filters on Cichlid, rainbow, goldfish and guppy tanks. My fish seem healthier since using it. I like it because it’s easy to rinse and you can reuse it multiple times without throwing it away! It’s easy to cut and fit into any filter shape. One roll was more than enough for all my filters, with some leftover. It filters really well, too. I would highly recommend this product.
