Eheim 4005300 First Impressions
Easy install.
Replace prefilter on pump inlet while filter is running. Works well for my low flow Aquaclear 20. I double the size and fold them and put the bagged carbon between the layers. Don't get anything smaller than 750VA as you don't want to overload them. The box comes with super easy and clear instructions. In 20 gallon and under sized tanks these start becoming feasible primary filters. I took off two points because the pictures are misleading.

Eheim 4005300 Final Thoughts
I use the APC brand.
I have a Top Fin 10 power filter and these cartridges fit perfectly. Just be careful punching out the plastic. Tank is clean and all my new shrimp are still alive! I will always buy these here on Amazon for the price savings. Works well for my low flow Aquaclear 20. The main part is cleaning, that I need to find out. The injection molding for the plastics leave a lot to be desired.
