For the smallest filters

This is a good way to protect juvenile fish, small invertebrates and thin fins from damage caused by the filter's air intake. As a bonus, sponges provide a large surface area for beneficial bacteria to grow. It's perfect for my tiny 5 gallon beginner filter. Don't forget to remove it when you do your maintenance and squeeze the remaining dirt into a bowl of aquarium water.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • There are disadvantages

Good work! suitable for filter accessories

Installed as a pre-filter on AquaClear 50 HOB filters. Works great, I flush every few weeks or so, but I haven't had any issues with clogging due to reduced filter flow. It would be even better if they were about an inch longer, but that doesn't matter. Protects small fish from being sucked into the inlet and creates more space for beneficial bacteria to grow, maintaining a perfect balance in the aquarium.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Large and bulky

Works well with both of my HOB filters

I have one of these on my 20 gallon Tetra Whisper Power Filter cooktop and my 60 gallon Tetra Whisper Power Filter cooktop. It's too big for a 20-gallon cooktop, but I used a clean rubber band to secure it and it fits my 60-gallon Whisper cooktop perfectly. I originally bought this to keep guppy fry from getting sucked into my filters, but it also keeps large plant debris from getting into my cooktop. It also provides another place for beneficial bacteria to grow. These are high quality inlet…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • weak

Finally a pre-filter that really fits!

After losing 4 fish in a week to a stuck filter I started researching how to stop this. I found the best option to get a pre-filter. I searched for hours and even ordered a pair. But unfortunately I could not find one for my filter. The Top Fin PF-L 20 Silent Stream is 1 inch in diameter and most of the sponges I've found have an inner diameter of less than half an inch. I saw that this one was a little less than an inch and figured I could stretch it out and get it to work. I had to cut out…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Bad set
