Fast for 1 gallon tank

I bought the single one about six weeks ago, it doesn’t have the flow to get out of its own way. If it had more power, it would be wonderful if they could make it adjustable.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Quietest sponge filter ever

If you’re looking for a quiet sponge filter this is it. I wouldn’t even know it’s running if I couldn’t see the water moving.

Yes, I recommend this product.

This pump was NOT what I was hoping for. I got this for a small 10g rimless tank and was hoping it would give it just enough water flow to help my tank. Unfortunately, it BARELY worked and the motor died within a week. Very dissapointed.

No, I do not recommend this product.

It’s a really good filter!

Filter was really simple to set up! I thought it was noisy at first but once you add the small hose at the top, it’s really quiet. the part that the water flow comes from adjusts heights which is really helpful. It looks big but it fit perfectly in my 10 gallon tank.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Got this for my 10 gal (I don’t fill it all the way) community tank, works great so far! Love that the airline goes in the top and there’s no need for an air pump! You can also adjust the air and water flows as well as the height of the output, I have mine just below the water line to create surface agitation and turned the flow to the side to not disturb my fish too much. The whole thing is pretty much adjustable! My poor betta lost a few fins to my previous filter so I knew it was time for a sponge (I also added shrimp and one got stuck in the old filter) I looked everywhere for something the would work and this is just absolutely perfect! And my snails have never moved so quickly haha! Also the other review that mentioned the bottom coming loose, I had that problem and then noticed it has to be turned into the threads.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Got it for my 6G shrimp tank!

Setting up my 6g had some unique challenges as I didn't want to go air powered UG route. Then you can't go too powerful or it'll hurt the shrimps. Then you gotta make sure it won't chew up the shrimplets. Sponge filters were meant for shrimps, but to me, they lack power...so imagine my delight to discover this! I relish the fact it forcibly draws in water thru the dual sponges. I've read reviews on the single sponge unit being too powerful...maybe in a 1-3g tank...but I feel this in my 6G could be a tiny bit more powerful. The only ugh part is the loose fitting bottom. Not a huge deal but wish the bottom was tighter ;) I will be using this filter anytime I set up a small tank.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Would this be good for a 5-gallon tank

  1. Hello, good day! Yes Imagitarium Powered Sponge Filter is recommended for up to 8 gallons and is a great choice for a 5 gallon tank.



I have a betta, and my old filter doesn’t fit the new tank, will this have enough power to clean but also not hurt him?

  1. It won’t hurt any fish it will clean your tank rotate clean one side every 2 to 3 week example like left then right so it can hold the bacteria keep your tank healthy. Good luck
