D.Levak: I use 3 different types of filter media and carbon in my hang on back filter and it still wasn't enough to get rid of my cloudy water. I added this, did a water change and in 48 everything looks significantly better!

Colella F.: Had green dust algae in my aquarium. I hate using chemicals and I will admit to not being the most patient person sometimes on somethings. For instance, to adjust some lighting, reduce feeding, don't clean as frequently and it's still possible that it will take a month to clear naturally...no thanks. I cut this to my filter size and put in with a clean filter and it was gone in a day, maybe 2. Now, I will not chance not using one.

Daniel Rodriguez: This product is fantastic. I own a Magnum filtration device. As everyone knows, you can NOT get replacements for the Magnum water preening cartridge. So I purchased this media and simply cut it to the size I needed. Wrapped it around my plastic cartridge. Held it in place with 3 rubber bands. It works like a charm!!! It filters algae out of my tank with ease. Love this product. Highly recommend it to anyone who can think outside the box.

roundheadslovene: We upgraded from a 10 to a 20 gallon aquarium recently, and were having issues with cloudiness. We did upgrade the filter system to a 20 from the 10 that came with the package (why would they do that?), but still had issues. Then we used this. It does take a few days, but the water is sparkling clear! I can't wait to clean the to see how much the material has captured. It is sold as a large sheet, and you have to cut a patch to-size for your filter, but that is the most difficult part of installing it into your filter. Nice and thin, it fits in well with the usual, standard filter material.

CARLOS A.: Funciona pero no como lo describe en la publicación.
El filtro se tapa muy rápido, si limpia pero no al punto de mantener la agua cristalina de tu pecera.
Tenga en cuenta que al cambiar o lavar este filtro suelta hilos del mismo material afortunadamente mis peces no hacen por comerlos.
Para mantener cristalina el agua de la pecera solamente lava los accesorios cada 15 días y las paredes de vidrio cada semana limpialos no es necesario sacar el agua para limpiarlos realiza esta operación y te sorprenderan los resultados.

Doo: I used this filter material in the filter of my tropical freshwater aquarium. I had a problem with green water algae infestation and after 5 days of use it had not made any difference. I then added a flocculant to the water and within a day the suspended algae had gone.
Its good quality material but over priced especially as it does not filter as efficiently as the manufacturer claims.

Erwin: The big difference between this and other brands is that Aquatic Experts treats one side of the filter pad to reduce the chance of strands of the filter media coming loose. For other brands, you will annoyingly see strands of the filter media in your fish tank from time to time.
Because the texture of the treated/untreated side is different, its easy to place the filter pad in the correct "direction".
This means that this filter pad will last longer and can be reused a few times. I cut extra pads for my filter. When its time to change, I put in the newly cut pads into the canister and rinse the dirty pads and then soak them in a bleach solution which releases the dirt.
With sufficient pre-filtering with fine filter wool, the pad has no problems lasting for 1 month+ (not sure why some reviews say theirs lasted only 2 weeks - not enough pre-filtering?)
