Customers say

Customers overwhelmingly praise this prefilter sponge for protecting small aquatic life like shrimp, fry, and bettas from filter intake while improving filter efficiency and reducing maintenance. Many report it extends the life of main filter media by trapping debris, lessens cleaning frequency, and provides peace of mind. Most find it fits well on common filter models, though a few experience fit issues requiring minor adjustments. Some question the price or note inconsistent quality, but the vast majority consider it an essential, worthwhile investment for tank safety.

I got this pre filter for my Tetra brand hang on back power filter in preparation for adding a Betta fish to the tank. It fits perfectly on the 1/2 “ intake tube and prevents injury of the fish’s fins.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Works perfectly with Aqueon Quiet Flow 30

This pre-filter fits the intake of the Aqueon Quiet Flow 30 LED Pro perfectly. It’s like they were made for each other. I strongly recommend this prefilter. It holds the sinking food and the fish can eat them later rather than sucking them up inside and clogging the filter pad inside. This definitely improves the life of the main filter pads inside your main filter.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Protect your fish from being sucked up by filter

This slips onto the filter intake tube of filters. It not only protects fish from being harmed or killed it also provides living space for the nitrifying bacteria.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Questions

1 - 9 of 9 Questions

Will this fit on the Fluval 107 cansiter filter? I have shrimp that keep getting sucked up that im trying to protect

    Would this fit on an Imagitarium IN-FIL 40 sponge Filter?

      will this fit on a seachem tidal 55?

      1. That would depend on the diameter of the intake tube. The filter sponge fits onto a 1/2” diameter tube. 



      I have the Fluval 2.6 gallon tank. For my betta fish, before I purchased this sponge I had my filter on the lowest setting. Now with the sponge it works much better, should I still have the filter set to the lowest setting? Or turn it up?

      1. Of course. It will help keep the tank cleaner. 



      What exactly is this used for? Is it the actual filter that is having the air pump in it or is it used over a filter? I'm new to this stuff and I'm planning on getting a Betta fish.

      1. It’s used for the intake tube on a filter to catch large debris so it doesn’t clog up the filter cartridge in the too fast. 



      will this work on a fluval flex on the 2 returns

      1. I use these filters on my returns and on my wave pump and recirculating pumps. I have a saltwater tank and need to filter out misc. floaters before they make it to the filter and pumps. They also protect my urchin and snails from the returns.



      Does this also work against the sand that goes in the filter?

        What are the dimensions of this sponge filter?

        1. Approximately 2 3/4" tall, with a 1/2" diameter opening.



        Does the cavity of the sponge have 1 or 2 openings?

        1. One
