Review: Do it. - 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.
Review: AQQA Aquarium Filter Review - This sponge filter is an absolute gem for anyone in the aquarium hobby. I was initially looking at much more expensive and complicated piping and drainage systems, but I decided to give this a try as a more budget-friendly alternative. I couldn't be happier with the results. It's incredibly easy to set up and maintain, and the filtration power is surprisingly effective for its size. My tank water is crystal clear, and the fish seem to be thriving. For anyone looking for a simple, efficient, and affordable way to keep their tank clean, this is the perfect solution. It proves you don't have to spend a fortune to get great results.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality sponge but media tray is troublesome
*by K***Y on December 3, 2025*

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.
