I have been looking for aquarium filters for some time for a 6 gallon tank. But everywhere I went--I could not locate them. I was beginning to think that I had bought an aquarium that was out dated. Thank goodness I was able to find them on [...]. I was able to change my dirty filter and it works fabulously! My tank is protected and I now have happy fish! Thanks again [...].

I often end up with 'inherited' pets. I've never been a big fan of fish, but my mom decided she was to old to keep up with the care of her two cory catfish, so I ended up with them. I prefer animals that can tell you when they are hungry; but decided to make the effort of owning fish as painless as possible for me and them.

I wanted a tank that required minimal cleaning so purchased the 10-gallon Marineland Eclipse, and some extra filters. I do love this system. About once a month, I rotate out about a quarter or 1/3rd tank of the water; and the filters do the rest. The tank stays clean, the fish seem to like the extra space. I'm very happy. It's made owning fish, mostly painless. Now if I could just figure out how much to feed them on the regular basis, I'll be set.

it's a fish filter. not much to say. I couldn't find it in the stores so i had to get it online. then after i buy it online i find it in the stores. I don't reccomend the stupid fish tank that goes with it though. the marineland 2.5 gallon plastic tank. spend the money and get a real fish tank.

Just what I need for my older Eclipse aquarium. These size filters are hard to find locally, and cost 50% more when you do find them.

This filter seems to work quite well and is very easy to change. I only have to put in a new one about once every 30 days. Doing that along with regular cleanings and water changes seem to keep the aquarium in balance and the fish healthy.

I am so pleased to find these aquarium filter cartridges on Amazon! I have an aquarium for my marbled crayfish (Marmorkrebs) and am not able to keep anything else in the aquarium with them (snails, bottom feeders, etc.) because there are so many they eat everything. Therefore, it is especially important I have the filters available to change on a regular basis.

Pretty straight forward product. Keeps my tank clean and easy to replace. I am able to get this from my local Canadian store but it's double the price so the Amazon.com price is definitely the biggest pro for me!

Marineland cartridges are very easy to use. They leave the tanks clean and the fish happy. I use several different sizes for my several tanks. This review is for the size Z. I have a 5 gal hex and the cartridge cleans the tank effectively. It is a no mess no fuss filter set up. One just lifts out the dirty cartridge and inserts the new cartridge.I have fish, live plants, and snails in the tank. The tank needs a filtration system to remove the fish and snail pollution for lack of a better word. The water remains balanced with their use. So much easier to use than other types where one has to measure charcoal, filter floss, and etc. I suppose I shouldn't but I extend the life of them a bit by rinsing them out in between using a new filter. The charcoal isn't the same after the first use, but the filtration of particles remains good. I find them actually a lot less money to use than a regular charcoal, and filter media filter to use.

The benefits of this filter cartridge are it takes about 5 seconds to change them out - it is very easy. About the only drawback I can see is I wish they would last a little longer before needing to be changed, but that is more of a function of what I keep putting in the tank vs. a product defect.

I am experiencing it hard to find this size filter, since the fish tank we have is a few years old now. Glad to see that I can buy them on Amazon!
