🐠 Enhance Aquarium Filtration with Marineland Eclipse Replacement Filter Cartridges Review

I would urge anyone who thinks this is a good Marineland product to bite the bullet and go to your local store and buy the more expensive one off the shelf and keep it. You will quickly discover that they are fake and not worth the money saved. Luckily I have some charcoal and some other filter media at home, I mostly just use the plastic frame and rip out the filament and charcoal because it's useless. After changing it and spending time I just had to buy more expensive ones from my local…

A hole in one of the original boxes (of the two that were required at purchase) leaked soot on the third item ordered as a gift. >: (There is a lot of free charcoal in there when I touch the second pack. I will be returning it as it is clearly not the same quality as the ones I bought from local pet supply suppliers where I had the MINIMUM AMOUNT of free charcoal ( Why? BECAUSE it is necessary in the filter to do the job for my fish!) I don't risk carbon particles (no dust! grit/particles)…

We will be returning these. Although they are packaged with the Marineland name, they have nothing to do with the filters we have. They appear to be fake imitations. Half of the charcoal has already fallen out as the rear rods are larger than our original filters, the blue filter pad is low quality compared to the original and overall it's a mess. I will attach photos to show the difference between what we received and what we have now. The ones on the left are our current filters from…

, I don't really know what to do because this is the filter I need. But they show up early. The filter that came with the tank was great and lasted two weeks before replacing it. But when I bought these, they only last a few days. Even after cleaning the entire tank, which is no good if you have to do it every few days. But that seems to be the only way to make the filter durable. I don't mind changing them once a week, but three or four times a week, you're kidding. I changed the one in the…

These are so pleasant. I almost want to give them four stars. But it's not fair. The reason for this is that since I bought them I have decided to put some live anubias aquatic plants in my 5 gallon Marineland tank. Because these cartridges contain charcoal, they can neutralize the plant fertilizers I add to the water. But it would be wrong of me to deduct a star just because I decided to change my setup. I just cut a two inch slit in this thread and remove the charcoal. I also filled these…

My daughter recently got a used 3 gallon aquarium and we finally had to replace the original marine filter. I'm very glad I kept the original filter cartridge as new ones simply don't compare in quality, fit and amount of activated carbon with each filter change. The new replacement filters contain much less activated carbon, thinner material, and a plastic base that doesn't fit as well as the old filter. Apparently this isn't a fake, it's "Marineland is getting cheaper" - the filter mesh is…
