The King of Sponge Filters is none other than Hikari

The Bacto-Surge Sponge Filter is the king of all sponge filters. I mean the water clarity and purification is great in Kynopinion. I mean you can tell, once you feel like it's a sponge filter, you can tell straight away that it's quality and effective.

Pros
  • Outstanding Overall Performance
Cons
  • Protection

2 pack confuses installers

Ordered two of these 2 packs and only received half of the order (from Revain). Looks quality but had to send them all back due to lack of options when returning the system. I had a feeling it wouldn't work and tried to cancel the order but it was "too late". Three HOURS later it was broadcast.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

Pros
  • Confident
Cons

Media. For Endler Live Media's new 55 gallon tank, I decided to try these Hikari brands to see how they compare. The only disappointment is that the sponge is slightly larger than the Hydro Sponge and its…
