Review: Came quickly, exactly as described - We have bought these filters from this company for years. Works great. No issues at all.
Review: Rena XP2 filter - We have a 55 Gal tank with a Rena XP2 filter unit. From bottom to top we use 2-20s then 2 30s, in the next basket it's the activated charcoal then the bio chem stars with two Micro filtration pads to finish it off. Works extremely well. Change the filters ever 2-3 months and have never had any problems even though we tend to overfeed :-(

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the dimensions of this item? Looking for at a black filter about 11/2"-2" thick, and can be cut in a strip about 1" wide and about 4' long**
A: It's about 6"x6" square and 1" thick. I didn't measure, but that's within a half inch on the side measurements, and a quarter inch of the thickness1. So, no, you won't be able to get a 4' strip from it. You can buy filter material that is not cut down so small already, so that you can make custom shapes/sizes. I don't know of any that come large enough to make a 4', but perhaps a place that sells to professional aquariums would carry stuff that big.

**Q: Do these contain carbon?**
A: This product does not contain carbon.

**Q: which kind of material is this foam? PU or Others**
A: I am afraid I don't know the answer to your question, sorry!

**Q: Can use with aquion filter**
A: I do not know, they would have to be the same dimensions.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rena XP2 filter

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Products
*by I***N on August 25, 2015*

I'm going to copy this review for several of their products, since they all work together and I'm equally pleased with all of them. I use these filters with a filstar xp3 filter to keep an approximately 100 gallon pond clean. There are 5 turtles, lots of fish (since the turtles would rather not work for their food), a rather large plecostomus and the occasional frog in the pond. With some assistance from the plecostomus, I've never had an issue keeping the water clear; even in the summer when I have to add water to it at least every other day. I use the ammonia remove pouch, carbon pouch, bio chem-zorb pouch, bio chem-stars and the 20 and 30 ppi filters. Anything that can handle that many turtles definitely deserves 5 stars.
