When using the blue filter, polishing pad, and now carbon pad, which order when you place them in in your filter?

The water will flow through the Blue Filter first then through the Polishing Pad then through the Carbon Pad. Best, Lexi M @ Aquatic Experts

Can you wash and reuse?

Yes, you can rinse it and reuse it but the carbon will eventually get used up depending on the organic bioload of the aquarium.

Which pad do I put on top in the filter. The carbon pad or the filterfirst pad?

Water should flow through our FilterFirst filter pad to trap debris and then the water flows through our carbon filter pad to trap organic matter. - Lexi M at Aquatic Experts

Cost Effective & Easy to Cut

I was able to easily cut it into the exact shape that I needed for my Aqueon SmartClean Power Filter with EcoRenew. The filter replacements are $11 for 3 at Petco, so I am saving a lot of money with this purchase and saving time from having to go to the store. This is going to be the only way I replace these filters moving forward.

Great Product

I have 2 hang on filters on my 50G planted tank. These worked well, but were not cost effective compared to my cartridges filled with charcoal. Using the regular filter material instead of the expensive filter cartridges is something I wish I did years ago.
