Aquarium Filter Media, Newly Premium 8-Layer Filter Pads for Aquarium, Fish Tank Sponge Pad Foam Filter Accessories for Pond (47" x 12",1 Pack)

I love this stuff. I use it in a marineland emperor filter instead if their expensive ones. It does a much better job & since they are washable & reusable, a much cheaper deal. I cut it to fit 2 of the slots & use the charcoal holder in the other. It works so well I don't need to change the filter so often. My water is much cleaner with not so much stuff to vacuum out at water change time. Highly recommend & my fish agree.

High quality water filter media that's easy to cut to fit. Some reviews said that it affected water flow, but it doesn't seem to impact flow on our fountain at all, even if the sponge is packed tightly in the filter compartment. Better quality water, lasts a long time between replacements, and it's a fraction of the price.

I ordered several different Kinds of filters and these were my favorite. Others clogged up too quick. these Held up for quite a bit and are easy to rinse out/clean. Also the amount of filtration they provide is amazing not too big and not too small. I was able to get several filters cut out of the sheet. I use each filter for a month or two rinsing it out about every week or two. Also with rinsing the Filter does not fray apart or lose it form. I use this instead of the old charcoal filters

I breed 20 varieties of aquatic snails as well as 10 types of tropical fish. I am currently running about 600gal of total tank space some of which are on sumps and others are using hang on filtration. I spend a fortune on filtration media so I decided to try out this product after everyone has told me to do away with exspensive filter cartridges and I have been blown away at how well they work. I have been using the same cuttings for the past 3 months in all my tanks including my sump and they are still going strong. I pull the pads and give them a good rinse about once a week to a week and a half and I have found that rinsing them does not kill or remove all the bacteria. Now you have prob seen some negative reviews and I think that those are due to the reviewer not properly rinsing the filter media. You will need to use a powerful sprayer like a garden hose with a jet sprayer on it to clean the filter properly. These filters create a great biological breeding ground as well as offering great mechanical filtration and I am very pleased with it. I love that it can be cut to size very easy and it is very well made. Even after cutting the filter media it stays together no edge or layer feathering like you see with other media. I am deff going to be using this filter media from now on. On average I spend about $100 on filters each month and over the past 3 months I have not had to purchase any! Just be sure you rinse it very well otherwise it will need cleaning again in a day or two if you don't get all the gunk out of it.

The roll you see is not what you should expect to receive but after first use I see the value of this product.. it is thick stands up to twisting and rinsing very reusable.

Been using this for a few weeks now. It seems to be very effective. Easy to cut with scissors. Fits any size tank/filter imo. I received two sheets of material and gave one to my father to use as well. It is thicker than my original filter, although I do not see that as an issue. I am able to fit a filter and a UV Light easily in the same space. Not sure how long it will last, although, it seems easy to clean as well...so maybe a month or two with each one.

This seems to be filtering my pond well. I didn't get the full amount I paid for and I don't see the amount of layers that are advertised.

The media could not be loaded. I bought this filter media for my HOB filter on my 75 gallon aquarium.I am running a big Seachem HOB filter. As you can see, this media polishes the water well. VERY well!I was using polyester fiber media, but this works MUCH MUCH better than that. My tank is still being established. No inhabitants yet. BUT, this is brand new drift wood, and there is a lot of it. The tank was full of tannins and tiny little pieces of wood. I couldn't boil or soak this new wood before adding it to the tank, so I just put it in. No prep whatsover. This filter has helped clean up the "wood soup" that I made. I have only done one 60% water change in three weeks with this wood. Just one. Just look at that water now! I wish I had taken a before pic. It looked like cloudy tea with tiny bits of wood floating around.It's nice to be able to cut to shape many filters for this HOB. That saves a lot of money.I really am impressed at how well this clears up the water.I am going to give this media a try in my wife's Nano tank too.No more expensive cartridges to buy for her Nano tank.Oh yeah, there are pre-made filter pads for my Seachem, made by different companies. However, this media is nicer than any pre-made filter pads.I will continue to stay with this product.
