Customers say

Customers are sharply divided on these filters. Many praise their effectiveness at keeping tanks clean, removing debris and chemicals, and maintaining clear water in small setups, with some noting compatibility where competitors failed. However, an equally large group expresses severe frustration over chronic unavailability of replacement cartridges—reporting months-long stockouts both in-store and online, with no clear restock timelines. A few mention weak pump performance and clogging issues. Overall, while filter performance satisfies many, the inability to access replacements creates significant hardship for users.

I see many people complaining that they can not find these filters in stores or online... when they are literally making thr complaint on a active, instock listing for the filter. So take them with a grain of salt. As for thr filters, I have the mini and they work just fine. Rinse them out once a month and they'll last. When you need a replacement, they are readily available.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Misleading product discription M vs SM filter size for Small tank. Buy multiples, always out of stock in store....You actually have to purchase the M stands for MINI not medium for 2.5 to 5 gallon tanks. Wish the website actually provided product measurements. It would have saved me from misordering the wrong product since the SM looks exactly the same. Also, the Mini ones are never in stock at locals stores, so I highly recommend buying several packs at a time to keep tank in good order.

Yes, I recommend this product.

So hard to find replacement filters! I've been looking all over the place and still don't know if I've got the right ones. It's infuriating. Wouldn't recommend this product.

Extremely small 1 inch by 3 inches

Petco customer support was unable to tell me what size these filter cartridges were nor were they able to tell me what size went into my model of filter . They were the right dimensions in the picture and while my filter and tank are more of a small than a medium I bought these anyway because they seemed like the closest match. I was wrong. These are teeny tiny. 1 inch by 3 inches. They are not medium more like XXS. It has been impossible to find the right filter cartridges. I'm really disappointed in my purchase of both filter and cartridges.

No, I do not recommend this product.

It is ridiculous to have to buy 6 packs at once to not have to pay shipping on a $5 item because they are never in stock in ANY stores within 50 miles! Why sell this product in stores if we cannot replace when needed! So frustrating!!

No, I do not recommend this product.

Petco sold tank with no available filter refills

Not in stock and according to the reviews it hasn’t been for over 9 months. I bought the fish tank set up less than that long ago. How are you going to sell a product that nobody can get required upkeep supplies for? After reading the reviews I saw the automated response to go to petco.com/contact-us so I went there first and there is nothing there to help with this issue and no way to contact anyone for this issue. This is shady business.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Out of stock

The store has been out of stock for weeks. Imagitarium is unfortunately a petco brand so I can't get them elsewhere. I have called or checked in every couple of days. I can't even order them online. Says the distribution center is out of stock. No one knows when they will get more. So frustrating.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Do Not Buy Imagitarium Products

Do Not Buy Imagitarium Products, they don't stock them, keep them in stock or how ever you want to phrase it. They are unreliable, I can't believe they think they can deliver this on a monthly basis. Order from Tetra or something else just not Imagitarium, save yourself the trouble and heartache.

No, I do not recommend this product.

are these discontinued now? trying to find a replacement and I just bought the tank a month ago!

  1. Hi, The Imagitarium Replacement Coconut Carbon Cartridge Filter M Sponges have not been discontinued. While the product remains an active item in our inventory, its availability can be inconsistent due to stocking issues or high demand Thanks.



I understand that it fits a certain tank, but I am wondering what are the actual measurements of the filter?

    Is there a replacement for this discontinued filter since it is not available in stores and not able to be shipped?
