 Great Filter Media!Dec 11, 2009
By M. Harrison
I purchased a "FilStar XP3 Canister Power Filter" 2007 and I love it so much I bought another one! I have had a chance to see what these "BIO-CHEM STARS" really do for aquarium water balance! The colonies of beneficial bacteria are so robust in these BCSTARs that I was able to get a new 29 gal tank setup (using the 2yr old Filter's dirty media) through the normal clear-cloudy-clear water balancing phase (without water treatments) in just 5 days (normally it takes me 2 weeks!)! At first I was not sure of what filter media products to use with it because it is so versatile and there were so many choices (so I bought a few each and experimented). The FilStar system really does provide filter media for whatever water conditions you will encounter in you area!
Better than bio-balls, but expensive.Apr 12, 2012
By Sadie A.
I have a large wet/dry filter that is filled with about 500 stars. I've had it up and running for 12 years now. It's hard to determine how effective these are, compared to other forms of bio-media, without conducting a controlled scientific experiment. My only complaint is the high cost and the fact that after 12 years many of them are starting to breakdown. They slowly turn grey around the edges and break apart.
Looking up at the starsNov 13, 2011
By Matt & Dana
Honestly I have no idea if these work. I put in a whole new filter system and the chem-stars are part of it. Using a Filstar xp3.
Pros:
- They are neat
- Cheap
Cons:
- Don't come in a pack the right size for an xp3, need to build multiple packs

This was a must have for our freshwater tank. It helps keep the bacteria levels stable so the fish are happy and healthy.
