EXACTLY what I needed!!!!!!
The media could not be loaded. I currently run two aqueon filters on a large tetra tank, a few months back I decided to add shrimp to my tank and recently was horrified to find my gorgeous shrimp stuck to my filter. I’m beyond thrilled to see these prefilters have solved this problem ... as you can see from my video. They arrived quickly & I happy to able to easily cut them to size. Note they are not closed off on one end, they’re like a tube BUT if you need a closed end like I do you can take the part you trim off and fill the hole at the bottom. Easy fix. Also note the sponge is not fine so there is the possibility for tiny baby shrimp to get sucked in BUT this works to protect the shrimp I have now so I’m happy. If you’re looking for something to protect baby shrimp you may need a finer foam prefilter.

Break down quicker than other prefilters
I clean my prefilters weekly and replace with new every six weeks. This particular brand caused my both of my Penn Plax Filters to stop working due to lack of flow after just four weeks.

These are OK but watch the sizes
I bought these to have washable back ups to put on my sponge filters as I took the dirty sponges off. I measured even the inside circumference carefully before buying but wasn't able to use since the sizes were different from the size they were supposed to be

Very course.
They are thin and very course. Ok for a pre filter in some cases but I would prefer more of a sponge option. I buy them because i camt find anything else. Won't stop small fry like neon tetras or white clouds from getting pulled in.

Great intake sponge
Great intake filter for a great price. I have for different size hang on back filters from Marineland and Auqaclear. This works on all of them

Very good product
I had to switch to these because my previous prefilter didn’t allow enough water to pass thru the pump. These have larger pores that allow water to pass thru but still protect the fish from getting trapped by the water intake.

Open at both ends.
FYI, these are open at both ends. If you are using this as a filter sponge you will need to close off one end somehow

Adds surface area for increased bacteria growth
