Keep your tank clean and clear with the genuine Penn Plax filter cartridge to fit your Cascade 300 GPH hang-on power filter model CPF5. Activated carbon is great for freshwater aquarium filtration. It has the ability to remove odors; and water discoloration by trapping the pollutants in the pores of the carbon. The poly-fiber floss barrier screens out particulate matter and debris keeping the water clean; clear; and healthy. No assembly required keeping your hands clean. Easily install into interior compartment of your hang on filter. Suitable for freshwater and saltwater tanks. Perfectly measured to fit into the Cascade 300 filter tray without any gaps preventing debris and contaminants from passing through back into the water.

Reliable replacement filter

This filter is superior to the standard filter supplied with the unit. The original filter had no compartments for charcoal, so after a while all the charcoal settled to the bottom. This filter solves this problem by being stored in compartments. Will buy again when the time comes.

Pros
  • Fish and aquatic animals
Cons
  • Available in black only

What I wanted - just a dusty mess when opened

Sure this is what I was looking for - but they arrived COVERED in charcoal dust - would need a thorough rinse to clean them - it was just charcoal all over the opening (heavy dust). A real mess that could have been avoided with custom packaging, better charcoal, or shipping (unboxed and USPS).

Pros
  • Pet Supplies
Cons
  • Good but not great

Product changed! - Aquarium Pumps and Filters

I have been using this product for 5 years. It used to be great! Last year the company had to change this product. When I open the box, everything is covered in black coal dust. I rinse it under cold water as instructed and now it takes a full minute for it to stop bleeding black and still not entirely clear! Now I have problems with the tank cloudiness. I remove this filter leaving only the bio sponge and it cleans. I tried again and ordered a pack instead of 3 just in case that was a problem…
