I dont know if you folks knew this, I didnt (oops!) but I just got back from my local Wal-Mart. I was browsing the fish supplies looking for some new plastic plants when I saw "Aquatech" filter cartridges.
The picture on the front of the box showed a power filter that looked JUST Like my Penguin filter, sans the bio-wheel. A quick google search on my smart phone revealed that Aquatech is Marineland's BUDGET brand!
You can get a 6 pack of filter cartridges for $10 at Wal-mart, compared to $15 or so at other places. I opened the filter cartridge box, they are identical in every way to the Marineland brand (they should be - they are probably manufactured the same but put into different boxes).
Linky:
Walmart.com: AquaTech20/40-30/60 Filter Cartridge 3pk: Fish
The link displays the 3 pack, but at the WM I was at they had a 6-pack for $10.57.
This is great for those that hate paying a lot of money for the replacement cartridges when they are no longer rinse-able, or dont want to make their own.
