Comments: Very high quality material. They don't say anywhere to prewash but PREWASH! yikes.... My fault as goes without saying but no harm. Skimmer took it out fast. Just re-adjust it if that happens. Used two cut pieces in two media bags on a 180 gallon reef. So far a week and still lots of area to collect as I usually change media bags every week but will see if can go 2.

Comments: I bought the 36"x36" 100 micron. This stuff is built to last. When its dirty I throw it in the wash with my regular laundry and comes out squeaky clean. It doesn't tear or fray or come apart in the washing machine either, and I use a Top loader washing machine! Do yourself a favor and get this filter pad, it will last you forever.

Comments: I ordered the 50 micron pad because I house large predator fish...which can produce alot of waste! My water was already really clear....but.after just a few mins u could tell the water was.getting even clearer...my water was so clear I could look the long way of my aquarium and it looked almost as if the tank was empty mind u my aquarium is 6ft.long! Only down side to the.50 micron is its very very dense so if u dnt have a high flow rate then u should probably get the 100 micron!

Comments: Not too much gets past this filter pad. It does require frequent wash/change.

Comments: Works great! Easy to cut to size and works much better then the poly fiber pads.

Comments: I purchased this item for use in our 10 gallon sump tank. Honestly I guess I didn't realize that a 50 micron filter was such a dense filter. It did not allow sufficient water flow for our little sump and was backing up the water over the top of the area where the water comes in. I think it is much more suited for a larger setup and would probably work great in a larger sump that had more room for water to pool and drain through slowly. 4 stars only because I think it should probably be rated for larger applications.

Comments: Filters good, hard to clean

Comments: I've been doing this for yrs and am always skeptical about items that claim to do the impossible, but I purchased Aquamaxx not for it's promise of crystal clear water, but to filter the small particles in my 130 gal planted tank. Guess water filtered the small particles, and I have crystal clear water!!!..... Go figure. I haven't tried to machine was, but if they hold up to that and I can reuse. Well that will make them the best filter media I've ever used.
