🔍 Aqueon Filter Cartridge 24-pack - Medium Size Review

Aqueon has cut corners on its filters. The amount of carbon in the filter has been significantly reduced and only covers the bottom of the 1/6-1/8 filter. About a year ago, the filters could last a month (with cleaning), but now I have to change the filter weekly, which can cause the biological filter built into the aquarium to malfunction.

This was the cheapest purchase for our aquariums. I can't believe how many brick and mortar shops were loaded here. While still fairly expensive, they were the best on the filter. Since we have an average filter, we buy these cartridges. They work well and keep your aquarium crystal clear! I wash them when they get dirty and use them for about a month. I will buy again!

Earlier this year I bought a 10-100 GPH size Aqueon QuietFlow LED PRO aquarium filter. I bought these replacement cartridges hoping they would be the same as the original filter cartridge, but unfortunately they are not. These cartridges contain half as much activated carbon as the original cartridge. The price is too high for what it is. I'm disappointed. I feel cheated.

Easy to clean, ready to use. A long time ago all carbon was put in a corner but they improved it by dividing it into four compartments inside. Unlike tetra filters that open from the top, this one is airtight! Flushing takes only 1-2 minutes compared to 5-10 minutes for Tetra continuous flushing. As my fish grew, I had to change the filter more often! Thanks to this 24-pack, I don't have to order too often as I don't like wasting cardboard boxes. Next, upgrade my Aqueon filter/pump!
