Doesn't work with aquarium pumps and filters

It just doesn't work, not because of a defect or damage but because it's horribly constructed. It fizzes insanely but creates no movement of the water other than churning up the water in the immediate vicinity. The sponge doesn't pull anything, it just doesn't work.

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • I won't say anything

Planted great for 5 gallons.

I like that it sticks to the glass and doesn't sit on the bottom of the tank. I have this in a 5 gallon planted tank so I don't have room below to install a sponge filter. So far it's doing an amazing job of keeping the water moving and the tank clean. This aquarium is a c02 tank so all it needs is some filtration to keep it all good and my rooster seems happy with his little planted paradise.

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Repair

Tiny, but that's why you bought it.

Dude, do you have a small tank? Do you need a filter? Hate looking at the big filter? Would you also like to add an air stone? But not because you don't want to see any object other than fish in your aquarium? This is when your sponge filter. 200% MUST be slightly less than 6 gallons. But there aren't many options for this side aquarium. This fish does not have simple manure filters. It is something different. And i love it.

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons
  • Reliability

So far, so good! I will update!

Looks like a great little filter so far! You can control the range of motion by raising or lowering it in the aquarium. I love that it mounts on the side of the tank which is very convenient and also fits in standard aquarium hoses and the Tetra Whisper Pump I had laying around. It came quickly, I wasn't very impressed with the packaging but it's ok as long as it works well. I haven't planted my tank yet, but I'm planning on planting something big enough to hide this gear :) There's dirt in myโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Not a fan. on Fish & Aquatic Pets

Airflow issues from the start. The main body consists of two plastic parts that are not sealed. Air comes out the back and I had to fix it twice so it barely works anymore. I won't be buying another one, I'll stick with the standard sponge filter. It only got two stars because it's small and very weak, which I obviously need. And while it works. Edited July 2019. I got fed up with this filter and replaced it with a standard sponge filter. I think I was ready for repair #4 and still couldn'tโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Dope ๐Ÿ”ฅ
Cons
  • Expensive
