    I have used many other filter pads in my reef aquarium, and these are the best by far! I have used blue, green, and red filter pads they all worked about the same. When I bought these, I assumed it was just going to be the same thing as well. I mostly bought them because I figured it might be better to use a filter pad that did not have any color dye. Wow, was I mistaken, these pads are way better. There are two layers, and the layers are different, one side is made to catch larger particles, and the other one is made to captures finer particles. You want the tighter weaved section on the bottom if not it will clog quickly and defeat the purpose of the pads. The pads last longer, during the standard period which it would require me to replace the pad, these pads are not even halfway utilized. My unfiltered water comes in from one side on my Nano tank and then runs over the pads. So now instead of replacing the pad once a week, my process is replacing the pad, then next week rotate the pad and then the following week replace the filter pad. I could even go longer than a week between the process how when I replace the filter pad, there is still a large section in the center that is clean. I have been using the pads now for about a month, I could not imagine a month ago claiming that I suggested a filter pad for anyone in the aquarium hobby how I felt like they all worked the same, but these filter pads are great, and I would highly recommend them. While I gave the five starts for easy to clean, I do not clean these pads. They are cheap enough that I can toss them when they are done. I mostly gave them five stars on this one because I was just amazed at how good the pads work.

    I have purchased this product several times for a couple of larger aquariums in wet/dry filters. Overall it is a good product and does a good job of filtering the water. I put the filter floss on a sheet of eggcrate and use a jet fitting on a hose to clean it each week. Some batches of this material are more durable than others. I can usually get 4 or 5 cleanings before it loses its integrity. A couple times it only lasted maybe 3 times, others as much as 6 or 7 times. If they could improve the consistency of durability, it would be ideal.

    Cut to shape for my fx4 filter on my 75 gallon filter. Actually backed two of these together along with a 400micron filter afterwards and this is the end result after approx 3 months. Works great and my fish tank is sparkly clean even after agitating my sand, clears it right up in 24 hrs or so.

    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.

    You will be able to cut cost of proprietary filters by cutting you own. These are very washable and reusable even under heavy loads like large goldfish or koi species. 8 tanks to take care of and a roll still will last me 2 months or more. A great value for the money and who does not want to cut costs these days.

    I live in the South and fish with live minnows, threadfin and gizzard shad. Keeping them alive between fishing trips is a hassle to say the least. I built a circulating bait tank in my garage using a bilge pump and aerator for air circulation. I constantly filter the water to control ammonia levels of the water. Previously I, as well as many of my friends, had used synthetic pillow stuffing as on of the filter material. For several reasons that just never seemed to do the job adequately. I purchased this product, cut it to size for my 4 diameter filter system, and it seems to be working wonderfully so far. I have been using it for about two weeks and already notice a significant improvement over the previous materials I have used. Being able to keep this costly bait alive and well until the next fishing trip as opposed to just tossing them into the lake when Im done fishing presents a huge savings which will more than pay for the reasonable cost of this product.
