It works great with the flow filter

. It works fine for about 2-3 weeks but I have frogs so their little brines or worms will probably clog it up more than fish flakes.

Pros
  • . Suitable for freshwater, saltwater or reptile environments.
Cons
  • Clarity

Filter Good for filter accessories

I have this in a 10 gallon (I think) round tank with 3 fish and it works fine. I've had the filter for 2 months now and in the first month I might have fed the fish too much because I used 3 filters in one month. I use it with the Fluval U1 underwater filter. After figuring out the feeding schedule, I only had to use 2 filters. Installation: Mostly plug and play.

Pros
  • Perfect for the filter chamber to keep debris out
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Use a Fluval Sponge, don't improvise

I bought a used Fluval U1 filter for a very low price and thought I could just add some foam to it, that I lied around. It was clogged up after 3-4 days and was driving me crazy. Seeing that the price of a real sponge was so low, I decided to give it a try. Works great! Drastically reduces the number of times I have to service the filter.

Pros
  • Specifically designed for use with the Fluval U1 Underwater Filter
Cons
  • Drill Pack

Thin piece of industrial sponge to fit the Fluval U1 pump/filter

This is an overview of the Fluval U1 filter for the Fluval U1 pump Sponge shaped to it fits on the Fluval Filter U1, no more, no less. It works great on U1. There is no organic environment here, no coal, nothing to see here but a sponge. (I think U2 and higher models have more sophisticated filtration.) I use my U1 as a cleaning aid before changing the water. I remove the fish, dip the U1 in the tank, plug it in, and then scrub the substrate with a turkey broom, which blows all sorts of nasty…

Pros
  • Ideal pore size for efficient water flow, less clogging and long lasting filtration
Cons
  • Volume
