I use these filters to polish my large freshwater tanks after a cleaning and water change. They leave water crystal clear after 24 hours. I have been using these filters with canisters originally, and now with the smaller polishing filters. They can be shipped with blue endcaps, or with a greenish blue endcap. They are cleaned by soaking in chorine solution overnight. The paperwork with the filter call for a 3:1 solution of water to bleach. The endcaps of the blue-green filter will severely degrade into a slime with this concentration. i contacted Marineland about this, and they said I was supposed to be using a 9:1 solution, claiming the paperwork with filter was outdated. The filters with blue endcaps show no degradation at any concentration. If I receive any with blue-green endcaps, I return them. I have 16 filters, 5 that are blue-green and exhibit this problem. They are tacky to the touch even when cleaned at the lower concentation.

This filter insert does a fantastic job of removing suspended debris from my tank. I change it twice a week, using two filters in rotation. My first pair lasted one year. My best advice is to follow cleaning instructions, and do not use any mechanical means of cleaning. Don't use your fingers, a brush or anything. Just spray with water removing as much junk as possible, then soak in a 25% solution of chlorine bleach for about 24 hours. Then rinse thoroughly and air-dry. They look like new with this treatment.UPDATE:I have also learned that these filters age over time in spite of appearing to clean up quite well with chlorox. I find that my old filters work well for a week or more while the new ones show reduced flow and some filter noise after 2-3 days. Same tank and filter housing. I find that the new ones are filtering better, by not letting as much material through, thus they are loading up faster. This is actually what you want. The water is even cleareer as a result.Well, I thought if 24 hours soaking in bleach solution is good, how about 5 or 6 days. DON'T DO IT. The rubber on the filter starts to dissolve and become very sticky. Had to discard. Stick with the instructions! Don't do what I did.Still a fantastic product!!Good luck.

The filter arrived on time in great condition. It was easy to set up. I run it on a timer, every other hour during the day.Things to consider:1. I ordered the foam filter cover for extra filtration BUT the canister is a snug fit and with the foam cover is very difficult to get the two in and out so I do not use it anymore. Also, it restricts the water flow from being so tight.2. I use a 20% bleach solution to clean the filter and it seems to work very well. HOWEVER, make sure you stir the bleach solution before inserting the filter into the cleaning container. On my last clean I put the filter into the container, filled it with water then poured in my cup of bleach and walked away. NOT GOOD. When I took out the filter the next day one end (not sure if it was top or bottom) of the filter's rubber was rotting and became very sticky. I think the bleach either settled to the bottom or stayed on the top causing the rubber to ROT and it is now sticky as honey. The directions do not mention this problem.All in all, I recommend this filter and would buy it again. Oh, another thing, some people complained about the red stripe. Well, a simple application of a strip of black electrical tape over the stripe and its hidden.
