Works great with fish and aquatic animals

These lifeguards work great for my application. It didn't restrict the flow, it just didn't allow the surface to slide as much as before. I had to adjust the return jets to move the surface more.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Not all will fit

The pros outweighed the cons

I bought this product because I kept finding my fish in the overflow in my aquarium. This solved the problem but reduced the flow rate in my tank. Installing the shelter at night while the fish are sleeping as it seems they only get sucked into the overflow at night

Pros
  • Sturdy design
Cons
  • Minor issues

Slows down the flow drastically!

I had a fish that died and was sucked into the overflow and it was garbage. I added this fish guard and my flow slowed down drastically when I took it off. Maddie, many hours later, my overflow reservoir filled up immediately. I need to add RODI water and only received one in my package. If I even bother to call them, they should read the reviews and do the right thing

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Many things

Keep fish from overflowing!

First use on Fusion Nuvo 10 nano. Therefore there are 5 stars. They are well built and work. What more could you want from a product? The only downside to this product is that the ability to overflow to the surface skimmer is greatly reduced. To clean the surface of the oil film, you need to remove the protection for 10-15 minutes.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Not sure

Keeps small fish out

It does what it says on the tin and keeps small fish out of the filter area of my AIO tank. I bought these for my IM 20 aquarium, unfortunately the company had to build them into the tanks, but this is an optional extra. It keeps small fish, shrimp and snails out of the filter area, but there are some downsides. enables the formation of a biofilm. I ended up taking a dremel and making the holes a little bigger, but not by much. This allowed for increased water flow and improved surface…

Pros
  • High marks for hold and durability from testers
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product

Just don't buy it from Aquarium Pumps & Filters

It's hard to give a good review, but it's not the manufacturer's fault it failed. It just annoys me that it was made for this tank. You can't expect this thing to work on every AIO tank. Think about it: if the flow of water is restricted in any way, then gravity won't help you either. The best solution is to make your own return filter like I did and just add an extra filter thread (available at Walmart as doll stuffing) to keep stupid fish from getting into the return and hiding. The downside…

Pros
  • GOLS Certified
Cons
  • Speed

Proper functioning of these fish covers can depend on how little living material is present. In my low-tech freshwater shrimp and snail tank, Fish Guards helped build up unsightly surface scum quickly. Please note that my installation is not standard. The Innovative Marine Lagoon 25 is filtered using a canister filter Eheim Professionel 4+ 250. The canister inlet is in the universal tank pan, as is the inlet of the (discarded) storage pump. Water must flow from the main tank through both…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
