Excellent filters in filter accessories

Premium filters for Marineland pumps. They work very well. The price is in the normal range. They can be washed and reused but I would only recommend once. Use a spray bottle, spray the back first, turn it upside down and spray from top to bottom, do not rub. I've been doing this for years and this is the best way I've found to clean them enough to reuse them. After 2 uses, the activated charcoal is disposed of, i.e. throw it away and use a new one.

Pros
  • Beautiful packaging
Cons
  • There are more interesting options.

Easy to use, I don't wash them, would like a non-charcoal version

to keep costs down. They fit directly into the filter grooves and are easy to assemble. I think you can wash them and reuse them once or twice, but I'm not a big fan of this because you can't remove all the algae or other materials that might re-contaminate the tank (I just throw them away when the time comes is ripe). to replace them). Be careful when you buy them. Prices are everywhere!

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Expensive

Stick to the original.

Not to mention Marineland carts and filters. The price is only fair if/when you subscribe to them or use them as additional items. Even with that, I can get them cheaper from another source. However, this is the way to go when I don't need a lot of supplies. I've been in the business since. Well just a whole bunch of years lol. I've been using Marineland products for almost as long. There are several companies that have made DIY filter carts. Stick to the original. The money you save on all but

Pros
  • High ratings for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • New Competitors

Filter cartridges could be better.

I bought these cartridges for 2 Marineland Emperor filters. The filters on the outside are noticeably covered with tons of coal dust and loose soot. I have other filters and when you flush the cartridges there is always carbon powder but it doesn't harden and all the filament is covered in dust. The assembly is good, but the assembly is bad. Supplied in a plastic bag in a box. When you're done with the cartridges, you'll see carbon and charcoal dust residue all over the plastic bag - a decent…

Pros
  • The best in its niche
Cons
  • Little things

Good filters, sometimes not so good.

Filters are easy to change. Pretty cheap. They just work. My last pack of filters wasn't very good. It seems to me that there was a lot of carbon in the filters in each bag. So bad that the filters were clogged within a few days. I had to shake them under the kitchen sink so all the charcoal in the bags settled on the floor and the water could drain through the slots in the filter. After I did that, the water started flowing again. I repeated this process every few days until my next monthly…

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Safety

I have kept freshwater fish for many years.

I have kept freshwater fish for many years and decided to try Marineland Biowheel filters about two years ago because I thought they would improve the water quality. I use two small biorad filters in each aquarium to circulate the water in the aquarium and avoid overcrowding the aquarium with fish to minimize bioburden. I also have many plants that help balance the water levels. Well, since I switched to bio wheels and standard size filters, the water quality in my tank has been steadily…

Pros
  • Permanent Test Results
Cons
  • Slightly Torn

Simple and convenient service at an affordable price!

Marineland has been around since the 1980's, and with good reason. They make quality products that do what they say! There are always multiple ways to get the same or better results, but reliability and low cost make the product easier to use. Marineland's HOB (Hang On Back) filtration allows everyone to have a well-running system whether it's fresh, brackish or even salt water. It also makes filter maintenance very easy! Simply flush the cartridge to remove the carbon deposited in the filter…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Good, but not great
