🔋 AquaTech Hydro-Sponge Filter Review

For use with my Fluval 406 in my 65 gallon aquarium. My water in my 8 goldfish tank is perfect for my fish. Yes I know I have more than what is recommended for the goldfish in my aquarium but for now that will not be a problem. They are happy and growing with my 7-10 water changes. A month ago I waited over 2 weeks to change the water because I was on vacation. Despite some algae (which I also attribute to the fact that I added a bouquet of plants a week before the holiday and some plants were…

I have 2 4 sponge hydro filters in my 150 gallon tank. One normal model, the other professional. There is no better sponge filter that I would consider. This is at the highest level.

I've since switched to gravel, but setting sand down and using it as a buffer when I add water to the tank while filling has helped…

I have a 100 gallon tank that I keep my large African cichlid in. I only use this filter and the results have been excellent. Keeps my aquarium crystal clear and easy to clean. I notice that when I clean the filter it gets a lot of dirt what it is supposed to do. It usually takes me a few flushes to fully clean the filter due to fine particles. The filter is quite large (but I needed that) and more than enough for a 100 gallon aquarium. However, be aware that when placing them in an aquarium…

I recently reviewed another smaller sponge filter here. Sponge filters are AMAZING for your aquarium. The only downsides I can find are that they aren't pretty and they can't hold a lot of big stuff.

I recommend getting 2 for each tank. That way, if you ever need to quarantine your fish, you'll…
