Review: filter material - as expected .. good quality aquarium filter materials
Review: This is amazing - This product is amazing. I cut out a template to put into my filter on my 70 gallon tank. It works so well within a few hours my tank was looking really clear! Sidenote. The product works so good that unfortunately when I came back to my shop, there was water on the floor.lol The template that I cut was a little too big and he captured too much debris that the water began to back up in my filter wants the dirt accumulated. I use the 100 version. I can adjust the speed so I just have to make sure I cut smaller pieces. But the results are so good that I had even more fish to the tank. This product will last a long time and prevent extra cleaning. If I get a chance, I’ll take another picture of the dirt that was saved from the first template I used. I’ll definitely be buying more of this. I barely have to clean the tank. My algae eater unfortunately passed that’s why it wanted the pictures you see more algae on the rocks.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would you be able to use this as a prefilter pad in a cat water fountain**
A: It depends on the fountain I guess. This stuff is real thin, less than a quarter inch thick. For your application, I'd use filter floss to build up to proper thickness, then the micron polishing pad. The combination should do the trick, plus you'll be able to make a ton of filters.  https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Ribbon-Products-ABLPLY4-Polyester/dp/B0002AT7GQ/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1534194152&sr=8-8&keywords=filter+floss

**Q: Will this help with micro bubbles coming from my return pump?**
A: Our polishing pad is designed to trap fine particles from the water. It is probably not your best choice, but I am not sure how you were planning on using it. Either our Premium Dual Density filter pad or an aquarium sponge may work better. - Lexi M at Aquatic Experts

**Q: explain micron ?  50 vs 100 etc**
A: Our 50 micron polishing has a smaller pore size and will trap finer debris than our 100 micron. - Lexi M at Aquatic Experts

**Q: Where would i place the pad and what direction in a grech cbg-800 5w uv sterilizer hang-on back filter, 20-50 gallon/211 gph, black ?**
A: I always have the polishing pad as the last pad before the water returns to the aquarium

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolute must have for every aquarium - show quality super clear water. amazing. shocking results.
*by K***E on 28 September 2018*

this stuff is amazing. hands down, the best filter media. originally i was torn between the 100 micron and the 50 micron...i decided on the 100. and i'm so glad! my tank is CRYSTAL CLEAR! just look at the side view from my photos. i love that this just comes in as a giant piece of fabric. i just made a template and cut it....it will last many many moons. i'm using it in a fluval spec V. originally i wanted to go with the original filter media by this company...the stuff they say to use with this filter felt to get the best result. i still may buy that...but really, i'll probably just use a little polyfill. i was using poly fill originally and it worked okay....it did not work like this. i expect to have to change this every week, maybe two weeks. it's been just three days and it is already turning colors...i probably wont attempt to rinse and reuse....i want to stay as close to this crystal clear water as possible. super impressed. i do think i have a little reduced flow rate from my pump because of this. i will most likely turn up the pump in my spec V. just haven't done that yet because i have a betta. i am also contemplating getting the 50 micron. we'll see. for now i am perfectly content with this. it is definitely more expensive than polyfill. but the result is incredible. and this product is going to last a long time...so glad i bought this. i mean, i honestly can not believe how sparkling clear my water is. this is the water quality i have longed for. before i thought i was just incapable of achieving perfectly clear water like so many people do. but now i am a fish keeping pro. Update: So i get about 1 week of usage out of these pads. but that is without having any additional mechanical filtration in front of the this pad...i am calling it filter felt. which i believe is another term for it. i am using this in a Fluval Spec V....it works amazing well in a fluval spec...just cut to size and placed in the rectangle filter block on top of the sponge. i cut it 1/2 inch longer and that works nicely. it's a snug fit so no water bypasses the filter felt. i was already anticipating having to change the filter felt pad today or tomorrow....when i got home today i noticed that closed off section that houses the pump for the Spec V had gone way done....about 4-5 inches from the display part of the tanks waterline. that to me is indication to change it....put in a new piece of filter felt pad and the water level immediately went back up. so yes, the longer these pads stay in the filter and accumulate more gunk, the harder it is on your water flow. i have raised the flow rate of the pump all the way up, full blast....this used to be a problem because i have a betta. however, with the filter felt pad and the pump on high it does not bother my betta. my tank remains crystal clear. everyone that comes over comments and says they have never seen a home aquarium as clear as mine....i truly do feel like a fish keeping pro with this filter felt. for me, it was the missing link in my filter. please, if you're on this fence about this product just buy it and see for yourself. you will be amazed. i am not affiliated with this company. i have never spoken to them. this review is 100% my experience of this product. i truly believe in this product.
