  • Works well

  • So far so good
Size: Medium
The media could not be loaded. First of all, the manufacturer's video for this product was great! I strongly suggest you watch THAT video before you watch the videos associated with reviews! I did. Then, when I watched the first 3 customer review videos, I was surprised. Yes, I was laughing, BUT I'm sure they're nice people as they were considerate in making a video, so I hope they figure it out. Or perhaps, that's the way they want to use this filter. I mean, even I am not going to use this in the exact and intended manner! They were leaving the TWO sponges intact, as it was shipped! Now, that won't kill your fish, but water has to be able to flow, to some significant degree through the sponge. The sponge is already quite dense which increases the surface area exponentially, allowing more beneficial bacteria to grow and consequently allowing that bacteria colony to consume more microscopic feces before it turns into ammonia,...so smooshing two sponges together (which btw was a smart thing for the manufacturer to do because it saves them a whole lot on shipping, on storing inventory, on the costs for packaging, etc.), blocks the water flow that you would have benefitted from. At first I was hesitant to comment on this, but I figure, I better share the limited knowledge I have ...and someone may correct me if I am wrong, and then I can learn too. The material seems sturdy enough, but I learned the hard way not to tinker too much, or else I'll have a full-on MacGyver job on my hands. The sponge seems like it's dense and made of good stuff that will last. Sometimes sponges arrive with a foul smell; not these. But JIC, I'm soaked them and rinsed them well. The plastic topper/cap that anchors the sponge seems to fit best if you line up the clamps and the grooves. These are tiny, so you have to look closely. This plastic might not last for years, but it'll do for now. In order to access the compartment where the ceramic bio balls are, you have to use a thin, flat screwdriver or something comparable. This is not the greatest design for me to be changing out the carbon, but hey, I created this challenge for myself by not using this filter in the exact way prescribed. Again, the plastic itself, as well as the open-close repetition will eventually break the areas that snap into place. I accept. So... I threw out the bio balls. I added my pelletized carbon, reassembled everything and then squeezed the air out of the sponge as I tried to submerse the filter. Because my air pump is so strong and because there is not any significant weight to hold the contraption DOWN without the bio balls, I had to open everything back up and add a couple of stones for weight. None of the carbon has escaped yet, so that's success :) And it stayed down. The bubbles. OMG it's a geyser of large sized air bubbles. I have a super strong air pump... with a cheap, crappy gang valve (but that is really the only kind in our local pet stores), so it was either feast or famine because there is no such thing as fine-tune adjustment on a cheap gang valve! There does not seem to be an airstone within the column, and after I tried to pull on the pieces a little... I decided not fix something that ain't broken. So it just comes gushing out Not a bad thing, I guess. Since a lot of the pieces, as well as how they are assembled, are shown in the manufacturer's video, I avoided posting any of the parts. The video here shows my two sponge filters running. The one at the edge is the typical sponge on a pedestal. The one which is more or less centered in my video is the AQQA filter. I think this is a nice looking sponge filter. It is definitely not the ghetto, cheap clear plastic "box filters" of the 1980s where you added filter wool and "charcoal". Nor is it the typical round sponge filter on a pedestal that just looks ugly. If I had a display tank that required a sponge filter, this is the one I would choose. For me, I wanted to add chemical filtration to my pond where I breed veil tail rosy barbs. I am hoping this filter keeps them healthier and allows me at least a few day more between water changes. ... show more

  • Filter works great but not made great the inner part under sponge broke before using once.
Size: Medium
I have this in my tank now and seems to be working great so far with great air flow. I did have a piece break before ever using which I fixed with wire tie to have it work. The inside middle where air bubbles come up has two plastic pieces that hold with little plastic clips that do not hold well because sponge is so big. While putting it on the little clip broke. You can't use it like that because sponge will not stay on. Luckily I got that wire to hold it down. Also the top which goes on top to hold sponge down comes off very easy that popped off a few times before I got it to stay. A few tweaks and this would be 5 star as of now it's 3-4. I hate being negative so I'll do 4 star but 3 is just also. Just needs to be made better on those pieces. ... show more

  • easy to clean and cured my fin rot
Size: Small
My betta fish was in a 5 gallon tank with horrible fin rot and I'd tried everything at this point. The Indian almond leaves, aquarium salt, etc. I decided I would set up a hospital tank and I bought this filter. I took out the media balls and just used it for its mechanical filtration. It also came with an extra sponge so after my betta fish's fin rot stopped getting worse I was able to just use this filter normally by rinsing it really well and throwing away the sponge used with all the medication. It's in his main tank now and his fin rot hasn't gotten worse since :) ... show more

  • Horrible
Size: Medium
This thing looked great and the reviews seemed all good too. Let me tell you, it’s loud!!!!! Compared to my original its like night and day. And the water never cleared up even though it was running for over 15 hours. I’m gonna stick with my simple sponge filter

  • Immediately broke
Size: Medium
Not sure if it was broke in shipping or when I took it out of the box but the plastic tabs holding the two halves together snapped. I don’t have any choice but to try and fix it myself since I don’t have a backup. It does stay put on the bottom and is about the size I expected. I’d call it sturdy if not for the flimsy plastic tabs that broke. Two pieces so took less than a second to put together. If you’re looking for a big filter this one may work but you might have to fix it immediately :/ ... show more

  • Works great! Little strong current for betta fish though.
Size: Small
The filter works great! It has been working for well over a month now. I'd recommend getting it for fish that can handle a stronger current. If you get it for a betta, make sure you have many hiding spots from the current.
