Aquaclear Foam Inserts, 3-Pack

I am very active in the aquarium hobby and the AquaClear 50 (all models I have tried) are just awesome. What I find most attractive about these filters besides the fact that they function flawlessly with very little maintenance, is that they have seperate media replacement parts. You can customize your personal AquaClear to your needs. Personally I use two filter foams instead of one and one carbo insert. You can always add the carbon insert quickly and easily if needed.

A few bits of advice:

1) Use a pre-filter sponge over the intake for added biologocal activity as well as preventing small fish or shrimp from getting sucked into filter

2) Regularly (once a month) shake/squeeze both the pre0filter sponge you put on as well as the media from in the filter in water you JUST REMOVED from your tank when doing your regular water change. DO NOT rinse the media in tap water ro use hot or cold water period.

3) Once a month, unplug and unscrew the motor housing and remove the impeller and use an old toothbrush or cotton swab and clean both the impeller and the impeller housing.

These AquaClears are workhorses and the ability to tailor the filtration to your individual tank makes them invaluable.

I'm low tech so AquaClear's are all I've ever used on my smaller tanks. I use two foam inserts in the filter chamber. With my last two foam inserts, one seemed to break down much faster than the other. Hope these new ones hold up.

Not much to review here... just a sponge. I wanted them to use as prefilters for all of my HOB's. I took all 3 out of the box, cut a hole down the middle, so that the intake tube of my HOB filter, will slip inside of the sponge. Compared to a "job specific" sponge that my LFS wants $19 for, I get 3 of em for quarter the price!

AquaClear is a great brand. The foam I got did seem a little cheaper quality than the foam that came with the filter. Since it came in a 3 pack, I used only one since they last forever and decided to cut up the others to fit my smaller filters.

Out of this 3 pack and after cutting some up I ended up getting:

1 for my 70

2 for my 50

2 for my 30

and a home made slip for the tube so the fry don't get sucked up into the filter.

UPDATED 10/4/2012

I have 3 Aquaclear 70 filters and I have gone through about 3 boxes not even in one year. The replacements continue to fall apart just after 2 months. The last time I bought was the worst quality yet. I'll be looking into something else for now.

*The original foam that came with the filter is still excellent and still using it, it's just the replacements that are crap*
