This sponge works great as a pre-filter. It keeps the pump clean and prevents small fish from getting stuck. Easy to install and clean. I’ve used it for three months now and it’s still performing well.

I installed it with my AC110 filter and noticed less debris in the pump. It’s simple to maintain and helps keep the water flow steady. A small improvement that makes a big difference.

Great fit for my saltwater tank. The sponge catches algae and fine particles without clogging the intake. I clean it every two weeks and it’s been reliable since I got it.
