Fits Marineland Biowheels model 150.

Update: I've had this in my tank for a while and can visually see how much work it's doing. It does an excellent job of filtering out feces and dirt that would otherwise get caught in the filter itself. This helps that I don't have to clean the filter mats in the device as often and the components get slimy or dirty from deposits. I clean it about every two weeks by taking it out, squeezing it out and hitting it on the edge of the sink. Don't skip the last step if you want to remove anything…

Pros
  • Mechanical filter media installs easily over the filter inlet
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Works well but could fit better

I have a 30 gallon aquarium and have used an Aqua Clear 70 filter for 10 years. The filter doesn't get dirty and my little fish and frogs don't get sucked into the filter. That works great. but must be clean for 5-7 days, otherwise it will stop the water flow if the dirty manhole lasts 6 months before needing a new one. That's not the problem I have. Each one I buy does not stay on the intake pipe, it even falls off with a small hole, and over time the top of the sponge and the hole stretch. I…

Pros
  • Includes a spare pre-filter sponge
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Protects my bettas, plecos and ghost shrimp

I bought two of these aquariums because my Aqueon Whisper 10 is too strong for my fish. I cut the bottom off one and leave the other intact. First, I put a cut sponge on the intake pipe of the Aqueon filter and an uncut sponge on the bottom (closed bottom). It covers the entire intake pipe of the Aqueon filter. This, along with the drain-blocking Aqueon plastic bottle, makes my aquarium safe for even the tiniest ghost shrimp. My cock tail is no longer sucked into the filter. Oh I have a rock…

Pros
  • Specially designed for Fluval Edge aquariums
Cons
  • Expensive

Aquarium pumps and filters clogged overnight

I tried it on our filter system. Aqua-Tech Power Aquarium Filter, 30 to 60 gallons. I placed it on the underside of the intake pipe after removing the basket. When I got up in the morning, no water came out of the filter system. I saw a tiny stream. The pre-filter sponge seemed fine to me, but when I touched the bottom where the intake pipe hole is, there was a lot of dirt. I removed it and of course the dirt went everywhere. As a newbie to the fishing hobby, I'm wondering if I made a mistake…

Pros
  • Prevents small fish or fry from getting into the filter
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
