Ideal sponge filter

I like the smaller bubbles they produce and they are very effective filters. They are ideal for a 10 liter aquarium. I also have one for my 5.5 gallons but it's a bit big for the size.

Pros
  • Advanced sponge filter for aquariums with air stones. More oxygen, less noise. Effective.
Cons
  • Zero

No Weighted Bottom

So works like most sponge filters. For a while I had to put a rock on top during the tank cycle because the bottom wasn't being weighed and the filter kept floating to the top. In fact, my substrate collapsed, resulting in very cloudy water. It clears up, but in the first place it shouldn't have happened.

Pros
  • Includes: 2 Foam Filters, 4ft Air Hoses, 2 Check Valves, 2 Check Valves, 4 Suction Cups
Cons
  • Thin

Large Sponge Filter

in the air stone so you don't need to change the filter. The tube is long and the base is well weighted so you don't have to struggle with it to drown. Another bonus is that you get tube suction cups to keep the tank clean and even a check and pressure valve. Good value for money!

Pros
  • Connect one end to the air pump and the other end to this filter, and is equipped with a check valve on the air hose to prevent water and air
Cons
  • backflow. Interchangeable

Doubtful - air pump accessory

Good idea - I ordered a small one but received a super one. So unfortunately I have to go back. It is weighted and the air stone was small. The tube "modified" under the air stone is a hole in the body. The only problem I see is the hose coming out from under the sponge leaving a gap. My Kuhli fighter would be there in an instant, as would a shrimp or any other small critter that has the ability to be in places it shouldn't be.

Pros
  • Sponge filter offers both mechanical and biological filtration
Cons
  • Write later

Weighted bottom safe for juvenile fish and shrimp

I have two 10 gallon filters and they are great for small aquariums. They have thin sponges with fine pores that are safe for fry and shrimp. One reviewer wrote that they were underweight, but I found them perfectly weighted. It's as hard as the Aquarium Cooperative. The only difference is the thin sponge and how the air tube enters the middle of the filter (bottom instead of top). Like anything else you put in your aquarium, pre-rinse it and place it in a wet state. He sinks well. They came…

Pros
  • Recommended aquarium size: 50 gallons
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
