Well, like any fish tank, mine got dirty. If you know anything about fish tank filters, you know that each brand of filter system has a specific cartridge for that brand that replaces the old ones. I ran out of the cartridges. I went to Wal-Mart, where I usually purchase them, and they were sold out of the size that I needed. I had to go to Meijer to see if they supplied that brand. When I got there I discovered that they did not. My boyfriend had to buy me a new filter system just because they did not have that specific brand size anywhere. I did not realize until it came to buying a new filter, after having to do this once before, that I had become brand loyal to the brand of filters I had bought since I had never wanted to try a new brand. It was also just a habit, but I knew I would have to try a different brand. Well we had to throw out the old system, since it was disgusting, and replaced it with a much cheaper one. We are college students so sometimes you have to settle on cheaper products. I had to satisfice since they did not have the brand I used. This new filter did not work very well. I ended up having to buy a whole new filter system just because the new one we had bought was so awful. I now have a pretty nice filter system that extensively filters the water. Through this experience, I have had some buyer's remorse with the cheap filter system. In the end, I realized that I needed to search for the filter system with the attributes that I wanted. I found a great product that is still working!
