Hopefully nothing has changed. It's probably easier to cannibalize a new filter than get parts.

Steve - they renamed the filter API Filstar. The parts are exactly the same just under a different name, at least that's what the guy at Planet Rena said.

They are so adorable! How'd you get them so small? I didn't think you could by them that tiny.

Yes you are correct. My bad. I think the XP3-L is what Big Al's Online Pet Store calls them but they are exactly the same as the Rena XP3. :)
