I have used mine for 3-4 years and they still look good.  That's why many people like aquaclear.

How often are you guys typically cleaning them? Do you shut the filter off while feeding?

My fish eat the food before it gets sucked up.


Clean about once a month.

Same as Ken, the food is all eaten before it can get sucked up into the filter...
