Good stuff, clears particulate fast...

Unlike the other filters I use, these need to be handled with kid cloves. Cannot clean them with a garden hose, the layers will separate. They do a great job filtering green algae.

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 medium really keeps my aquarium crystal clear I love that I can cut it to fit any filter.

I love this filter. I have beautiful cichlids and need crystal clear water. I change them every week because they are so effective and cheap. My cannister filter is always clean because these guys do the job. (Yes I use 2 filters). I have stopped cannister filters in my other tanks. So easy to use. I double them up in my 90 gallon tank (why not).

For clear fish pond water

Previous to finding this duel density filter pad, Id spend tons of money on precut Fluval and Hydor media for my filter. Not only is this stuff a quarter (or less) of the cost, it is of much higher quality, and doesnt disintegrate after a month in my external canister filter. If can be rinsed and reused 2 or 3 times before discarding, and I usually clean the filter of my tank once every month or two. My water is always crystal clear and I always get comments about the clarity and health of my tank. I cut a paper stencil as a guide to the shape of my filter and keep in in the bag with the pads, so creating a perfect fitting match takes less than a minute with a sharp pair of scissors. Consider the savings of using this product: I used to buy both fine and course pre-cut pads from Hydor. To buy a set of both for each filter change it was roughly $20. This duel-density padding replaces the need for both, so each cut pad takes half the space, leaving more room for other types of media. I can cut 30 new pads off of one roll of this dual density padding which costs around $17. Add it up: $20 x 30 Fluval/Hydor filter changes is $600!! $17 / 30 Aquatic Experts dual density filter changes (or more if you reuse the pad several times like I do) comes out to $0.57 per change, and this stuff is of MUCH better quality!! Its a no brainer, buy this filter pad, and save bunches of money, while improving the health of your tank!

This pad is keeping my tank crystal clear! Definitely recommend this product

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 use this to make my own pre-filter “socks”. Keeps my canister main filter cleaner for much longer and the water stays crystal clear. I can make about 20-30 socks out of one 72” roll and they last about a week. I also use it to make filter pads for my cat water fountain. Great product, but wish it was cheaper.
