I've been using the Accurel media pads in my Marina S20 filter for about a year. When cut to size, it easily slips into the filter's slots. It is stiff, which makes it very easy to slide into place. It also seems to have a tighter weave than other media pads, so it catches even the tiniest specs of debris. My filter also has Purigen, and,in the far section of the filter, I use an Accurel Ammonia Reducing pad, which I also cut to size. Since I use only a piece at a time, the large pad is cost-effective. The water in my 5-1/2 gallon fish tank remains perfectly clear and the fish remain healthy. Because of the stiffness and the density, I much prefer the Accurel white media to the standard blue and white style. Just be sure to rinse it well before placing it into your filter to get out any loose fibers that might be clinging to it.I bought these because I have a large canister filter that doesn't sell replacements for its own filters. The original filters were getting very soggy, limp, and not filtering as well.
These are thicker and seem to hold their shape better. I traced around the filter pan and cut two new filters out of one piece. I'll use the other one when needed. My aquarium is looking good, so I have no complaints.Its floss, they had fast shipping. Great deal in the long run, I'm going to use this instead of the replacement packs.... Should work just fine.Am impressed with this product. Will continue using it in my freshwater tanks. This company has been in business for decades and really has a good filter product.I bought this for my ehiem 2028 and works great. I little on the stiff side so make sure you use good scissors when trimming.
