This replacement cartridge brings both stages together in one pre-assembled unit for compatible Marineland Penguin Bio-Wheel Power Filters. The Rite-Size system also makes the filter model an important part of choosing the right replacement; filtration needs vary with tank size, fish population and individual maintenance habits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat kind of filtration does this cartridge provide?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt provides mechanical and chemical filtration in a single cartridge. Water passes through the poly fiber pad, which catches debris and waste particles, and through Black Diamond Premium Activated Carbon for chemical filtration. A patented ribbed backing distributes the carbon across the cartridge to support water-to-carbon contact. Marineland describes the result as clean, clear water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanical stage: filters particles through the fiber pad.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChemical stage: uses activated carbon within the cartridge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRibbed backing: helps distribute carbon evenly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich filter does Rite-Size C fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRite-Size C cartridges fit Marineland Penguin Bio-Wheel Power Filters.
