Fluval Pro Vac Replacement Filter Pad (3+1 Value Pack) (11078)

I love the vacuum that I bought 6 months ago but couldnt find the replacement filter pad anywhere except Canada and UK. I finally found this one, its priced a little higher but when youve been washing your original filter pad for 6 months and you finally find one you have to pay the higher price. I dont know why they sell these vacuums and dont make the replacement filter pads for them. I contacted the company that makes them and all they could say was were out of stock use this link to keep checking when we have them in stock. The vacuum makes it very easy to clean my Oscars tank (their very messy eaters) but its so hard to find the replacement filter pads.

I have an African Cichlid and he’s pretty messy. I love that the filters are available on Amazon since the local pet stores sell the vacs but not the filter… anyway I used the first filter that came with the vac and it did an excellent job. However with these filters I feel like the dirt particles come right through and back into my tank, once I discard the filter it appears to have trapped some particles but I have a very cloudy tank afterwards and then a few hours later everything settles back to the gravel. I’ll continue to use and see if it gets better.

I was happy to find these filters on Amazon. My local Aquarium shops did not have them. These are for a Fluval Gravel Vacuum, which is awesome.
