Review on UPETTOOLS Fish Tank Filters: Silent Submersible Foam Filter with 1W Water Pump for 10-100 Fish Tanks - Aquarium Internal Filter by Arlene Byrd

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Soft but powerful - has a lot of potential

I hope for a soft but powerful function of this filter. I placed filter thread in two clear compartments to capture the incredible amount of detritus caused by the constant feeding of my pygmy seahorse baby brine crayfish. I'll post updated photos - that's from 8am. I also modified the filter head with a vent from an old sponge filter - the tube sizes for the throat are pretty standard so it's easy. At night I run the filter through the back filter, at noon for an hour, which sucks out the artemia babies and also filters the water. I used to use a box filter for gentle filtration 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, which was difficult to clean and seemed to grow bristleworms better than it filtered itself. My experience with sponge filters has shown that they pick up dirt, but it's difficult to shake off all the brine shells and dirt. I hope changing the filter thread in this filter is as easy as it seemed when I took it for a test ride. I love how easy this filter is to set up and I could put a small bag of Purigen or Chemipure in place of or along with the filter thread. one of the branches.

Pros
  • Good cause
Cons
