This is what you can do with your Aqueon filter (and any filter that uses disposable cartridges). Doing this will accomplish 3 benefits:
1) You will not contribute to the damaging 'disposable behaviour' of our modern like
2) You will save lots of money over time
3) You will not affect negatively the beneficial bacteria each time you change filter media
In the first 2 pictures below you have the very cartridge and holder of an Aqueon 10. Then pictures of an equivalent modification in another filter, the Penguin 350.
The idea is the same: Using scissors, cut along each side of the 'bag' in the Aqueon filter (cut top, and two sides, but not bottom. This allows to flip the white felt down, which will remain hanging from the bottom. Throw away any carbon contained (you don't need it anyway). Place a thin piece of appropriately sized foam sandwiched between the white plastic frame and the attached felt. Close it up. Place in the blue cartridge holder, and slide it into place in the filter. Voila. You know have a cartridge that can be rinsed every time without affecting bacteria, and which will last a long time, and you have money left over for other things, such as fish food or mare tanks. If you prefer, you can dispose of the white cartridge altogether, thus allowing a thicker sponge held by the blue holder. Your preference but you can try both.
The one shown (for the Penguin) is over 3 years old, yet it was supposed to be disposed off 3 years minus one week ago!
Good luck!
