At Marineland, we design our filter cartridges to meet the absolute highest standards of water purification, performance, and operational ease. Each pre-assembled cartridge slides easily into place, providing superior mechanical and chemical filtration, and making replacement fast, dry and effortless. The cartridge mechanically filters water through a pad of double thick poly-fiber.  Debris and waste particles are trapped, and water is chemically filtered through Marineland's Black Diamond® Premium Activated Carbon. 

Inside the cartridge, a patented ribbed backing ensures even distribution of activated carbon to deliver maximum water-to-carbon contact.  The result?  Crystal clear, crystal clean water.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from filter cartridges I bought these filters for my eclipse 12 tank along with a new lamp. The pic say 1 filter so I ordered 3. ended up with three 3 packs. Now I have to replace the tank because the hood is bad so I can't use any of it unless you have another tank that these will fit in.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Filters fit fine I got this fishtank at a garage sale, so I didn't know anything about the filter system. So, I found Marineland online and the purchase and shipment of the filters was easy and they fit fine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The filters ordered are only available thru on line orders.. Thank you for carrying these filters. I purchased 4 3-packs. My aquarium has been set up for around 15 years, and the filters are no longer supplied by any local pet stores, so I'm glad you still carry them. Thank you again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from LOVE IT The seamless 5 gal hex is not your typical hex that is difficult to keep clean due to the height. The power of the filter allows the take to remain clean and the filter cartridge just lays in the compartment very easily. We had a 38 gallon hexagon and it was always a pain, many fish did not thrive in it because it was a lot taller than it was long, this tank is more of a square-osh shape!

What size filter for an 18 gal tank?

Asked by: Babs MaGoo
We would recommend the filter system Penguin 100 or probably 150. The first takes the Rite Size A, the second takes Rite Size B replacement cartridges. BREX

how do you install this filter cartridge replacement . I inherited a PFES O5HX and it does not have a filter cartridge in it to be replaced. Is there an owners manual?

Asked by: KLBorg
Thanks for reaching out, KLBorg! It just sits with the blue side up, in the tray on the back of the tank. We do have a manual we can email you. BREX

I need a cartridge replacement filter that is approx. 9"x3 1/4" Not sure what size this is for ordering.?

Asked by: Lilylee
We do not have measurements such as this for each cartridge, although we do for bio wheels. Your filter system will have the model name/number molded into the cover or if it is an Eclipse, into the pump/filtration assembly. Use this and the chart on the filtration media page to determine what you need or call 1-800-322-1266. BREX

I Have a Hex 5 I believe but potentially an older version, because it said on the box that it came with a Rite Size E filter I believe. What size should I use to replace? 

Asked by: AlexanderT
Definitely not the Rite Size E as that fits a large H.O.B. power filter! You would need the Rite Size Z. BREX

Hi, I just set up a used Galaxy 5 aquarium system and everything is working wonderfully but it seems to be a discontinued model and I can't find replacement filter cartridges. Do you know if this or another of your filters would fit? Thank you.

Asked by: Birdpond
Hello Birdpond, That is a model that was discontinued well over 10 years ago. It takes the Rite Size Z cartridge which is still very much available. BREX
