Great value replacement filter cartridge

I received these cartridges to replace the cartridge in the filter of my Tetra ColorFusion 20 gallon aquarium kit which I have been using for half a year (much more than I would have liked should have). These cartridges are the right size and very easy to replace: just rinse and insert into the filter. Be sure to turn off the filter before replacing it. A day after replacing the cartridge, I can already see that the water is much cleaner, now I will change it every three months.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Can't remember

DO NOT BUY IF YOU LOVE YOUR FISH!

**Do not buy if you want your fish to live** I have trusted Tetra with my flake food and goldfish filters for years, I have no idea if I have a bad batch, but as you can see from my photos a cloudy white mist entered my tank (after 100% cleaning the pumps, filter and tank) and killed my two goldfish the next day! My 9 year old daughter was in shock! I don't leave many reviews but believe me I will never use Tetra filters again!

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

You only need one filter cartridge! :)

I found a used aquarium with a filter and bought this to see if it would fit. I must have measured correctly because it fits great! Then I went ahead and bought a huge pack of these. The day after I changed the filters, I read that they shouldn't be changed unless they're completely degraded (other than charcoal substitutes for fish preps?). Frequent filter changes disrupt the nitrogen cycle in the aquarium. So my 12 pack will last a long time.

Pros
  • Dope ๐Ÿ”ฅ
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Didn't clean very well but didn't listen to other reviews

Bought these filters for my last aquarium in a pinch as they were cheaper than the pet store and I thought it would be Help my aquarium and bettas stay healthy and clean. Shortly after thoroughly cleaning the filter and inserting it into the filter system, the water in my aquarium began to cloud over, as if small air bubbles were circulating in the tank. It could have killed my fish. Please spend your money and go to a real pet store to ensure the quality of your aquarium stays high.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

4 dead fish within 2 hours of using this filter

My daughter had (had) 4 fish (small cheap fish (tetra and some kind of goldfish). The fish were 3 months old. Filter changed every month with no problems. Used this new filter on Sunday evening and within 45 minutes both tetras were dead. Within 2 hours 3 fish were dead and within 3 hours I had 4 dead fish and a devastated crying daughter. Yes, we flushed it first for dust. i don't care the cost of the filter. i can't get my daughter's heart back who lost all four pets (yes she's too attachedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Minor problems

Works great, cheap price that's great

I choose the one (for a few bucks) that's already assembled because I'm lazy and busy. Well, it just wasn't what I wanted to do. I use these (pre-fitted) filters on my daughter's 5 gallon tank and they work great. Not as much. Rinse before use, replace the old filter with a new one. Or, if you're just starting out, hook it up to the pump unit. She only has 1 fish so I don't have to change this filter often. 4-5 weeks instead of 3-4 weeks. When it comes to these filters, I choose the best price.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • thin

Win or miss with quality

These Biobag filter cartridges hit the mark when it comes to quality. I add some to my tetra tank and they last 3 weeks, some just 2 and some just 10 days. I've also found that they sometimes let solids seep into the tank, making the water cloudy. I have two guppies in my 5 gallon aquarium so they don't produce much organic matter themselves. They have a lot of hard water in their tank because that's what they prefer, but I expected the filters to be better than they are. I put one in the poolโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good value for money
Cons
  • Reliability

I used to like these and the filter they were designed for but in my recent experience with the new bio bags the quality has dropped to the point of being unusable. I just recently bought a box of these and each one was defective - basically falling apart when taken out of the box. After the first one failed this way, I emailed them about the defective product. They essentially answered "very poorly". After the second I emailed again and explained that it was not my mistreatment but aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Could have opted for a newer model
