Very very very nice the emperor totally changed the cleanness of my tank.
I have the Marineland Emperor 280 Biowheel filter. the ready to use replacement filters have a much larger surface area to trap debris and better distribution of the carbon throughout the filter than the Whisper filter I use to use. They can be pretty expensive if you purchase them in a pet store. Through Amazon I found them at one third the cost. I have been very pleased with the filtration system so far. I have fancy Gold fish that are very messy and with this system I have to do gravel cleanings half as often.
We have the older version of this filter and we actually just added this one as a second. We have a large tank (110 gallon) and one is not enough for a tank that size. It’s quiet and it’s nice to have the option to put in different types of filtration cartriges. We have two friends who also run the Emperor with their tanks and have also been very happy with it.
I use these all the time in my emp 400. I like to rinse and reuse them, and even though they do hold out for quite some time, I feel the need to handle them delicately. I don’t need charcoal in my tank, I wish they came with the option of no charcoal. Otherwise, other than the flimsy feel and the charcoal content, these are very nice cartridges.
