Check the name on your filter before ordering, and count the cartridge slots in it: the pack gives you six cartridges to load one at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat the cartridges and sponges do in the filter\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach cartridge handles mechanical and biological filtration, which the brand states as the two jobs it performs in the Nicrew Slim unit. A cartridge goes in fully assembled, so there is nothing to put together before it sits in the filter. The two intake sponges are separate parts that fit the same filter and are replaced on their own schedule.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat comes in the pack?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pack contains six filter cartridges and two intake sponges.
