Marineland PA0145 Magnum Carbon & Media Container, 1-Pack

The item is of sturdy construction and higher quality than expected. The only watch out I would give is that the plastic lock shaft turn piece thing on the bottom is easy to deform if you just try to push one side of it (like with a small screwdriver) so always open & close with a pair of needle nose pliers.

That being said...

HOW IN GOD'S NAME DO YOU PUT THE AMMONIA REMOVING MEDIA / CHARCOAL SUBSTRATE IN THIS GODFORSAKEN THING?

Seriously though. The way the inner inlet tube projects relative to the rod that turns and locks it closed makes it impossible to keep one end open to put the substrate in without pushing the plastic mesh out of the guides that hold it in place? I am tempted just to cut a little 'door' in the plastic mesh and then just zip tie it closed after I fill it up.

Surely I am doing something wrong. The Magnum 350 canister filter didn't have any instructions with it (bought used) so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Received a used magnum 350 with one of my tanks but the media container was in rough shape and missing the black lid so I decided to replace it with this. Package arrived on time (2-day shipping) and in perfect condition. The mesh housing was free from any dents and even included the strainer in the center which I wasn't expecting. I would definitely suggest filling with bio media rather than carbon though unless you are trying to clear up dirty water from meds/tannins. If you use biomax it fits about 250g

I wouldn't buy it unless I had the actual filter. At that point you may not enjoy it so much.. but if you have it, GREAT BUY!

Bought this because I ham fisted my old one while changing out the media and I had media leaking out of the original container. No more mess and errant granules. Exact fit and function.

My husband lost the middle mesh part when dumping out the carbon from a filter cleaning. We put in the micron filter for a few days and realized when we went to change back to the carbon media back in that we had already thrown it away. This was a really cheap fix and fits perfectly in our Magnum 350 canister filter.
