Very convenient, I order more.

I use this one filled with crushed lava rock in addition to the regular filter (which I never change until it falls apart). I have a pair of Penguin 200's. They are great filters but the wheels keep stopping. I don't worry about it anymore because lava rock is a great bioenvironment and I can use another tank with it right away. At first I tried to fill it with peat, but everything comes out. I could try putting the peat in a knee high nylon bag first and dividing it between the compartments.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • New competitors are here

Good Plastic - Filter Accessory

When it comes to plastic, Marineland know what they're doing. They have clasps on both sides on the outside that keep the edges perfectly flush so not even a grain of charcoal can escape through the sides. The front and rear grills are the same size as the Rite size C. Inside there are compartments or tabs that facilitate even filling and then when connected together will not fall to the ground by gravity. Great if you need to treat fish as you can remove the char without breaking the foam…

Pros
  • Excellent Overall Performance
Cons
  • Long Delivery Time

Great savings

I used to sell filters for less than $1 but lately the price seems to have gone up. An internet search for homemade filters came across this gem and I ordered two. They have been in my aquarium for a few weeks now and I am very happy. Since I had a filler bag, I used it instead of buying sheets. This charcoal works pretty well, but it's not very rough and some of it will fall out of the holder. The holder is a bit fragile, please be careful when opening and closing. I change the filter material

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Updates

2pcs like it! ! ! the ability to add any chemical media of your choice

COMPLETE SATISFACTION Quickly delivered on time. No problems with packaging and shipping. Very important. quality plus. Must buy. Works as advertised. Highly recommended to others. 😀😀😀 Only suitable for 200 / 350 models (two slots): since replacement filters can sometimes be expensive. However, if you have multiple tanks, buy chemical material/filter pad in bulk/roll. It is best to also buy an empty filter cartridge as a refill pack to supplement your own range of materials. Add a separator…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Reliability

SAVE MONEY / BETTER THAN STOCK!

24 hour review: I love this product as not only is it a money saver but it is cheaper than the crappy cartridges that come with the Marineland Penguin 200 filter wrong me wrong, it has a lot of space for multimedia, but the default configuration is garbage. Briefly about my current setup. 38 gallon tank Cartridge with Marineland 30ppm zeolite blend of biological sponges behind the cartridge 30ppm pre-filter sponge My ammonia level prior to this build was 0.2ppm which is concerning. After 24…

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Some cons

Where were you!?!?!?!

TAAAAAAAAA much better than the BioWheel bag - I used one and filled it with filter material, then filled the other with charcoal and phosguard and both fit snugly in my Penguin 200, with room for stuffing You more filters closer to the back. Doesn't disturb the flow at all. I can't believe they're $1 each - a media pouch is $0.30 to $1.00 each, but it's nowhere near as cool. The slots are slightly larger for fine particles, but also ensure good flow. How to wash out a lot of small particles…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Negative is present
