Review on πŸ” Fluval Intake Strainer with Checkball for Fluval 305, 405, 306, 406: Optimal External Filter Accessory by Beth Pujol

Algae Growth - Filter Accessory

I generally like Fluval products, but these filters are cheap and very difficult to clean well. I've had three of them and they all developed a crack in the throat where the screen meets the vertical tube. When there are algae in the aquarium, they grow into the strainer and sometimes block the ball. Algae are usually easy to remove but impossible to clean. I ended up getting a second one and soaked the one with the algae growing in it and turned it around to make it work at its best.

Pros
  • Enjoy
