Adrian Murray –
The sponge fits perfectly over the AC110 intake and keeps debris from clogging the pump. I noticed better water flow after installing it. Easy to clean and has not degraded after two months of use.
Evan James –
Works well as a pre-filter. It caught small algae and fish waste without trapping small fish. A little bit of maintenance is needed every few weeks to keep it effective.
Boris Berry –
Great addition to my freshwater tank. Prevents fish from getting stuck in the filter and keeps the pump running smoothly. No issues with saltwater use either.
Irene Ogden –
Installed it with my AC70 and it’s been working well. The sponge holds debris well and doesn’t block water flow. Just rinse it out every couple of weeks.

Highly recommended for both new and established tanks. Simple to install and makes a noticeable difference in water clarity and pump performance.
