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.

The product quality and delivery was excellent. I installed the filter material in my pond and its working great. A great vendor worth 5 stars in my book!

Although package arrived with a knife slice clear across the bag, with dirt in that portion of the padding, I just cut that section out & dont use it. As for quality, yeah - these are better than Fluval Quik Clear & slightly thinner, allowing me to use 2 of them at the top of each of my Fluval Edge filters to be sure all the small particles are grabbed. Definitely cheaper than Fluval too, so as long as seller doesnt get greedy & jack the cost Ill continue to buy these for a long time. I go through this type of filter fast with 3 large frogs.

Ive been using this product for about a year now and I love this stuff! Every time I clean my filter the filter pad is dense and heavy with muck. I love that it is two different Micron sizes split between the pad. It definitely helps you get the most out of it. It is very easy to cut to size. Without making a mess! the individual fibers stay bound to the pad and dont end up going through my tank which is wonderful. I managed to get about 8 - 10 filters out of this. So I end up buying this about two to three times a year which is a wonderful value for the money. But they last a while. This is definitely my one and only choice when it comes to filter pads. I congratulate the company and the manufacturer prayer making a Superior Products at a superior price! Both of you and your staffs do great work! Thank you for the wonderful quality control and the helpful videos you send with your product it shows that you care about our Hobby!

Good stuff, clears particulate fast...

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.

I have a 40 gallon aquarium with a Fluval C4 Filter. I was looking into replacement media pads so that I didnt have to purchase the expensive Fluval replacements. This media roll works perfect and closely resembles the stock material. I pair this material with Aquatic Experts 50 micron polishing pad and my tank water is always crystal clear! I will say that this material doesnt hold up as long as the stock material. With the stock material, I would rinse the dirty sponge in a bucket of tank water, squeeze it out a few times, run my fingers over it to clean, etc, and then re-use it for a couple more weeks. I was able to do this probably 4 or 5 times before the stock material began to fall apart and I felt that it needed to be replaced. With this material from Aquatic Experts, I can only do this cleaning/reuse method about 3 or 4 times before I feel that it needs to be replaced. However, the cost difference greatly favors this stuff! I highly recommend this media and plan to continue pairing it with the 50 micron polishing pad!

As an avid user of POLY FILTER, it does get a little expensive (but worth it). Reading all the reviews I gave this product a try to supplement my filter pads. I must say I am very impressed. While it obviously isnt POLY it still does a fantastic job and for the price and amount you get is a fabulous bargain. My Aqueon 75 HOB filter takes 2 filter pads so I have begun using a POLY filter in one holster and this element in the other. I honestly see no difference in my water clarity so I will continue using both to hopefully save a bit of $$. I love POLY FILTER and will continue to use it but the quality and price of this padding gives similar results , but its definitely not going to remove some of the impurities that POLY will. Plus one roll should last years(s).

This filter material is used in my Marineland Penguin biowheel 150 HOB filters. I affix them to the frame that originally came with the filter, by fastening them to the fram with two sturdy rubber bands. I change the filter material at least every two weeks or sooner. This work-around saves money compared with the prepackaged filters sold by Marineland.

I cut the filter to match my filter device and works great. My aquaria are heavy planted, and with natural wood, plush fish and snails so theres a lot to filter. I rinse the filter pads (weekly) and use them for 2 - 4 weeks depending on load. The water flow may be reduced before water getting cloudy or dirty looking. The filter rinses very nicely, doesnt lose structure as other filters when rinsing for reuse.
