The Bio-Wheel Penguin Rite-Size C Filter Cartridge slides easily into place, providing superior mechanical and chemical filtration and making replacement fast, dry and effortless.

I'm actually using these in a similarly sized, other than recommend, over the side filter brand. I originally purchased them in a thrift store and found the size compatible. I purchased these as a special deal (item qualified for gift card.) The Chewy price makes them a quick, economical cartridge. While the padding and charcoal are thin, they cover a wide area. For a long time I was rinsing out a thick filter pad that I cut to size, along with a charcoal pad cut to size. It's a lot more work and these make filter media changes easy and fast. I change them out about every 7 - 10 days, let them drain and toss; they can collect a good amount of debris. Will keep purchasing.
Chewy has managed to keep the cost of this product close to pre pandemic rates. These are the manufacturer's filters, not some knockoff. They fit perfectly in my QT tank filter.
I think Chewy is the best their product is good And the people at chewy is very friendly. No problems at all. Dumbs up.
Fast and great product . I love to order from Chewy they are fast reliable and product is exactly what I wanted !
The site states this product is 6.5x4.5x6.75. It's really 6.5x5.5x6. Needless to say, it doesn't fit. Also when I open the box there was more loose carbon that fell into my floor than in the actual cartridge.
good product nice products good filter will bu more
I have used Marineland products for many years with no issues.
Wrong size, you would think they would had caught that when I ordered pump and sent filter that fit that pump
These are the only filter cartridges on the market that fit the Marineland filter I have on my tank. They work great and are easy to change out. Would be nice to see a little competition from another brand, but at least these aren't too pricey.
I’ve been using this product for quite some time for one of my clients freshwater tanks for a long while now, the quality is always good, but the customer service is ALWAYS nothing but A+++ The ones I’ve ever dealt with have always been customer oriented and are the platinum standard for customer service in my opinion!
