Penn-Plax CFU55 First Impressions
Overall fairly easy.
This filter system doesn't come with everything to you need. I purchased these for an aquarium at school. That's a long time if you knew how nasty that many shrimp and minnows can be! You can run everything on battery backup sockets. But if you don't weekly vacuum it up, it will eventually clog the filter. If you're looking for new filters, go with these. I have been buying these bags for years.

Penn-Plax CFU55 Final Thoughts
Pretty good.
I have a Top Fin 10 power filter and these cartridges fit perfectly. So here is the product size on the boxes that isn't included in the description! It's a pain in the butt to put together the directions don’t do it that well. It was exactly what I needed and fit beautifully. For obvious reasons, don't put them directly above or below a tank. You can cap off the ones you don't want to use. I have used UG filters for many years.
