well known brand, quality product, fast delivery

I have an Aquaclear filter and I always get plenty of extra foam for my aquarium projects. At this price, the foam rubber is bigger and cheaper than the 70's. Good quality foam from an authentic source with a good dpi that does the job. If you buy from other unnamed vendors, you may end up with 30ppi foam that clogs frequently.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Updates available

Not the same as many years ago but still work.

I always use original foams. They seem rougher than the ones I used many years ago (10 or so). Finer foam will filter better, but it still does its job well. They may have gotten rougher to the point that it could take a few months between cleanings, but I would have preferred finer filtration and more frequent cleaning. Why doesn't AquaClear offer fine and coarse foam? Since they are a bit rough I only gave 4 stars.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Large cells for good flow, blocking large particles at the bottom.

Ideal for AC110 or AC500. Large mesh for good flow, blocking large particles at the bottom of the filter. I like to add an increasingly thin pad layer right on top, but I don't think it's critical. I have one that is still working for over 6 months and I only give it a heavy wash every 1-2 weeks. Smell and color always indicate a healthy colony of nitrifying bacteria. So far no signs of degradation.

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Some bugs

FITS MY AQUA CLEAR 2000

I bought this filter cartridge for my 35 year old HOB AquaClear 2000 filter about a year ago when I decided to return my 55 gallon tank after 15 years of inactivity to set up. Inaction. Since model numbers have changed over time I wasn't sure if the 110 was the same as my 2000. He fit perfectly! I have over 50 tropical fish in my aquarium and this filter works well. I rinse the filter out with old tank water every two weeks after the water change and although the foam insert is no longer white…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Can't remember

Not like the old

This filter used to be made of a denser material that holds more dirt. Now the material is rougher and breaks much faster. I have an AQ 110 in all my large tanks, but to keep the sponge from spoiling I bought an extra sponge, cut it into three pieces and used it as a pre-filter on the inlet pipe. This extends the life of the sponge in the filter. I wash the pre-filter once a week and everything is fine. We also changed the material of the sponges for the Fluval series. Too bad they felt the…

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • old
