  • Works GREAT in snail/guppy tank!
Size: Small
This is a great little filter - and works great in my 10 gallon tank with mystery snails and guppies.

  • 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

  • Fun Little Thing.
Size: Small
It's pretty cool as a bubbler. Not sure how great of a filter it is, I have a regular canister filter as well.

  • Great addition to my aquarium for some air bubbles
Size: Small
This is the best little gadget to produce air bubbles! My beta loves to swim in them and just sit and let them rub on his body I guess it feels good to him. The size is great because it's so small I can just put it in the corner of my aquarium and if there is no noise except the beautiful noise of the bubbles which puts you to sleep! The quality is exceptional considering the price. ... show more

  • Easy set-up
Size: Small
Surprising good quality for such a low price. I’m using this in a newly set up quarantine tank.

  • Changed to a different one after a week or so
Size: Small
I wanted to like this filter. It was the perfect size for my nano shrimp tank and I liked the different design, but I could not get it to stop floating. I removed the extra sponge, followed all the directions, squeezed the sponge under water, etc. I tried nestling into the substrate, tried weighing down for a few days, but still floated as soon as the weight was disturbed. Then when I tried to nestle it down further something snapped. I finally just gave up and ordered a more traditional sponge filter. ... show more

  • Works good.

The shipping was fast and it works good. I have it in my 55gal tank and with regular water changes, I’ve had no problems with it.

  • Corydoras fish got stuck and died inside
Size: Small
Definitely not recommend this sponge filter!!! I have it on for about 5-6 months, suddenly one day the water in the tank got super cloudy. I changed water quickly without cleaning the filter, but the water got worse. Today I did 80% water change, took the sponge out, and found one poor Corydoras dead stuck inside. Don’t buy it! ... show more
