Expensive and ineffective filter.

Based on our own experience, this filter did not live up to its promises. Despite being marketed as highly efficient it struggled to maintain water quality in our aquarium. On top of that, it left a significant dent in our wallets. .

Pros
  • None.
Cons
  • Expensive and ineffective.

2 broken pockets. Damn.

Three 50 gallon packs are offered here. Filters are cheaper than any pet store but if 2 bags are not sealed properly and are useless I think my savings are wasted. See photo. A bag opened the day before, a similar hole. I threw it in the trash, decided to clean the filter the next day and it happened again! Coal flowed out. Not really for trying to sew it! Let's face it this is probably an extremely rare occurrence and possibly a manufacturing defect which has resulted in a couple of bad bags…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • New Competitors
