Review on Aqua Flo Aquarium Filter Media Thick by Ashley Taylor

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not worth it if you have a heavy bin

The pad is only 1/2 inch. The area that captures larger particles (including the image of the white part) is so thin that when I pulled out the cleaning pad after 2 weeks, it was 70% clear and the green part was saturated. When I installed this pad on my FX6 I also used a river pad underneath this one. Again after 2 weeks the green part was flooded. The riverbed below this one was very dirty and had collected most of the particles. I now have 3 of these gaskets on my filter at the same time with the flow gasket underneath but having bought various generic brands and yes saving money I have to open my FX6 every 2 weeks to check it's not worth it to me , although technically I'm saving money. I'll return to the river pads once I'm done with this stack.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Long delivery time
