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).

Seems to work as well as standard fine pads. I just put this in 12 hours ago or so and the tank is clearing up nicely. Whether that small fine part clogs faster we will see. But for now seems to be doing a great job polishing the water. I will update with my final opinion in a few days to a week. My set up: 40 gallon breeder with a top fin pro 200 (eheim pro 5e). Very heavily stocked with community fish (over 100). Bottom tray has LTW home medium foam green then a layer of this fine pad. Then three trays of biohome ultimate. Then another of these fine pads where eheim recommends to catch stuff that bypasses the trays. So far excellent. No flow issues at all.

Ive got a pair of aquaclear 30 filters for my 29gal tank, and for the longest time the water was always slightly cloudy. Replaced the sponge that came with the filters with two layers of this and one layer of the water polishing filter and its already noticeably clearer the next morning, and the nasty raft of protein slime bubbles was half the size it was the night before. Absolutely loving having a cleaner tank. (please ignore the diatom/brown algae on the plant leaves and glass, thats definitely on me, Mistakes Were Made, crashed the tank cycle in a failed attempt to fix something else and now im fixing it all)

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.

Great filter media and you can cut it into whatever shape or size you need

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

I have a mutha of a tank to keep clean. It’s a 180g maintank with a 45g sump. For fish in that maintank, there are two 16” Oscars, two 10” silver dollars, one 14”pleco,and one11” banjo cat. No need to tell you the filtration and upkeep is a choir at the very least. Yo have to think out of the box to keep it clean and the tenants, I’m in hopes Dyson will come up with a waterproof remote vac some day, it alone requires a 1400 gph in line pump to handle the bottom, the python tank vacuums would require 100 psi to lift and remove the waste, this is where the Experts-at ‘Aquatic Experts’ shine, they have the various types of media tools separate, the mung, the mass, while plowing the good bacteria to continue its journey keeping the waters in check. You need to go no further than here, to get total satisfaction.

Exactly what I needed works great

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.

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!
