09-06-2025I have aqueon hang-on-back filters on my 75 gallon tanks. This filter product lets me cut filter pads that are much cheaper initially than those sold by the manufacturer. The fact that they are washable and reusable adds to the economy. And they work!

> 3 dayCut to shape for my fx4 filter on my 75 gallon filter. Actually backed two of these together along with a 400micron filter afterwards and this is the end result after approx 3 months. Works great and my fish tank is sparkly clean even after agitating my sand, clears it right up in 24 hrs or so.

> 3 dayI 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!

> 3 dayI 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.

Greater than one weekThis 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.
This 3rd generation dual layer aquarium filter pad is even thicker than before. The top layer traps large debris while the lower layer traps fine debris. Making it an ideal aquarium polyfill for aquarium filter. This filter floss for fish tank even keeps goldfish tank water crystal clear.
