So I received the filters in a three pack, I purchased these because it was recommended from the tank kit I recently purchased. Everything seems to be okay, except for one thing. The filters seem to leak the material inside the filters. I didn't think it was a big deal at first until I saw that there is six chambers filled with this black rock like material, only four of the chambers are filled. The two chambers that are not filled are on both ends of the filter. My problem with that is, those ends are were the water first makes contact with the filter as well as when it leaves the filter. So the water is not getting filtered as much as it should be. When it comes to taking care of your animals its important that cleaning is done the right way. I will use these up and look for another brand that will fit my tank. Or purchase them locally so I can inspect them before I buy them.
