AQQA Aquarium Filter Fish Tank Sponge Filter Whisper Submersible Filters for Aquarium Foam Filter for Freshwater & Saltwater(Medium for 20-110 Gallon)

Works pretty great at keeping the water clean for my African Clawed Frogs who are very messy creatures. I tried quite a few filters and tank cleaners, but none really worked well or for very long. This filter has been working perfectly and to clean I just need to pull it out, detach the hose, and rinse under running water while squeezing a few times. Has lasted for longer than other filters and my frogs like to sit on it and haven't been hurt since there is no sucking in danger for them. There is no noise but the air pump so the filter doesn't disturb my frogs. Great item for my frogs.

Works as it should, quiet and gently. ✅Give it a good rinse in your sink so media dust comes out the bottom, and then squeeze the sponge under water so it's saturated enough to sink. ✅Some photos in reviews people haven't separate the filters - IT COMES WITH 2 SPONGES, TAKE ONE OFF! You can do so by carefully removing the cap at the top. I have a powerful filter for my 55gal tank but I keep this in the tank as well just so it's a primed and cycled filter for a hospital tank should I need to set one up. For now it is doing what it needs to do and it adds oxygen to the tank by the bubbles stirring up the surface in a corner of the tank that otherwise is usually more stagnant.

Have had it hooked up for a short time now but so far so good as it seems like a well functioning sponge with the bubbles coming out finely without an air stone added which I like, I also really like it conceptually with it being the only stand alone single sponge filter I've seen with a media tray added you can add to which is a nice feature for a sponge filter. My only complaint is the media tray was not easy to pry off even using a butterknife and it slightly broke on the one side it seemed despite being gentle about it. Thankfully I could snap it back it place but it wasn't easy and makes me reluctant to want to do so again to mess with the media in the tray at all, so I gotta dock a star for that. Still good otherwise though.

Amazingly fassst delivery! Excellent, very well made and very practical aquarium filter that's designed to do the job really well; fits nicely, particularly in a corner area of the aquarium. Highly recommended product. 🏅

This is my all-time favorite filter for fancy Gold Fish tanks! These are nice quiet filters. Sponge filters are known to be quiet in general and are good for goldfish, due to their addition of aeration to the water without the intense water flow of many of the waterfall type filters. I love these specifically because they are a combination both sponge filter and also ceramic filter media in the bottoms. It gives you a little of both styles of filtration without taking away from the sponge filter portion. ( You will need your own air pump and hose but this is the same as any other sponge filter. ) For cleaning you can just disconnect the air hose and pull them out. You can remove the little plastic piece that keeps the sponge on ( it just snaps off but can take a little effort). Then I squeeze the sponges in non-chlorinated water until the water is clear. I rinse out the stones without removing them from the bottom and resemble by putting the filter and cap back on. It is simple and doesn't require scrubbing out pipes and tiny motors etc. It also refuses the same filter for months, you just rinse it out and reuse it. ( They do send an extra sponge for when the original one wears out, but they are not like the little slot filters that are supposed to be replaced every month!) I have had one of these filters in my tank for over a year and the sponge is still far from needing replaced. 10/10 I recommend these especially fancy goldfish since they don't do well with strong currents. I recommend them for anyone with freshwater tanks though. I don't see myself buying any other filters any time soon.

Filter works well and almost perfect but the only issue is no matter how hard I try I cannot get into the bottom of this to clean the ceramic balls. Pretty big size for a 5 gal tank tbh I thought it was gonna be smaller. Overall though it does work and do its job I just wish it was easier to clean and it wasn’t so bulky

Super easy to use, cleared the water in our 5 gallon tank overnight. Definitely faster but I'm not trying to put a time to it. Water was very dirty before, now clear. There is no additional noise if you already had an aerator. Works great, great price, definitely recommend. The only negative I could think of is, its kind of large for our 5 gallon but I'm hiding it behind Squidwards house.

Works great! I’ve used this attached to my outdoor solar aerator for a fish bowl I sunk into a planter. This simple filter & box has held up to the extreme temperatures, does filter the water, and has allowed me to switch to changing water every few days to a couple weeks. If I cannot change the water, I’m able to slip the sponge off, squeeze it out in clear water & rinse it clean. (I can only do this because I permanently removed the sponge cap after one of my small fish wedged himself in it & passed; I saw the diameter was the same, so it didn’t take away any safety features.) I never have issues with it floating- it’s easy to transfer the sponge while soaking & slip it back over the filter box. The filter effect is strong enough that I actively have to remove pieces of water hyacinth roots! My fish is happy & survived a HOT Summer on a southern exposure patio- the filter kept the algae down to the point one fish was able to keep up with the bit that grew. I have tried a few different set ups to keep this bowl clean & going, I was even told by a pond store it was next to impossible & I’ll kill my fish in the heat. I closely monitored it throughout the Summer & am SUPER PLEASED with this product’s performance OUTDOORS! Not only did it filter & aerate, but it kept the plants healthy, which enabled them to provide proper shade & protection for my fish.

Great sponge filter. I purchased it along with the AQQA Aquarium air pump. I needed assistance with the air pump, and customer support was fantastic. The sponge filter is working really well. The sponge seems dense and the air flow is just what I wanted. I love the added filtration at the bottom with the ceramic stones.

Awesome seller!!! AAA customer service and the filter works very well too!

Great value for the money. I like that it has both the ceramic beads and the sponge to hold all of the beneficial microbes. If you open up the bottom and toss a small rare earth magnet in there against the wall, you can grab another one and put it on the outside of the tank to hold it exactly where you want it to stay. That’d be the only improvement for this one — if that were included. I like that it operates by air

Moi j’ai pris le Small car j’ai une dix litres et il fonctionne à merveille. Et c’est vrai qu’il vient avec deux mousses à filtres. J’avais déjà une mini pompe à bulles puissante donc je suis totalement satisfaite de mon achat.

Nice sponges filter. Don’t forget to take off extra sponge
