(definitely more durable than any of the Lee's product). Sponge can be removed easily for cleaning, you do not need to disassemble any components to do so. The outlet can also be adjusted so you can have it in or out of water- I usually have out of water for good water circulation. Instead being sitting on the substrate, it attaches to the glass which actually prevent junk build up on the bottom. Even better that it has little room for you to add any of your filter media for extra biochemical filtration power. There are three things that you need to be aware of: -You will need more than 1w air pump for it to work, so if you're using USB air pumps or other small form, it may not work well. Regular 2.5w air pump, like Tetra whisper will do just fine. -**you MUST wash sponge in hot water before using it** It may or may not hurt the fish, but the sponges that I received had strong chemical smell. I had to wash it in running hot water, in the bucket for good 15 minutes to get rid of the smell. -this sponge filter works by culturing bacteria (that breaks down ammonia from fish's excrements to safer substances) into the sponge. **IT DOES NOT HAVE THAT BACTERIA OUT OF BOX**, you will need to cycle the tank properly WITH THIS FILTER before using it. If "tank cycling" sounds unfamiliar to you, then please go research that before getting a fish. If you have already added the fish before reading the tank cycling, I'd suggest getting a FritzZyme turbo product, a bottled live bacteria. Review: So far works great! - This filter was easy to set up and looks nice in my tank. Don’t forget you need your own air tubing and air pump! I connected mine to a little Top Fin 120v pump from PetSmart for my 10g tank. I wasn’t sure if the little spout is supposed to go underwater or above the surface I saw people had it different ways in the reviews, I decided to put it slightly above bc the bubbles were a little too loud for me when it was below the surface :) ## Features - 【Multi-filtration Functions】Upettools sponge filter combines a single scientific 7-layer ribbing shape sponge design, which can quickly establish a bio-filter, improve purifying water quality, and the oxygen port can rotate 360 degrees without dead ends, keep your fish tank crystal clear and clean. - 【More accessories】Package include: 1 single sponge filter with 1 containers +2 suctions + 2 bag of ceramic media balls + 2 pare sponges.This aquarium filter must be used with an air pump and a standard-size 4mm air hose. - 【Removable Sponges 】 You can take down the sponge from the filter easily to clean or replace it.

Don’t forget you need your own air tubing and air pump! I connected mine to a little Top Fin 120v pump from PetSmart for my 10g tank. I wasn’t sure if the little spout is supposed to go underwater or above the surface I saw people had it different ways in the reviews, I decided to put it slightly above bc the bubbles were a little too loud for me when it was below the surface :) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cleared my shrimp tank by 3rd day! Be patient. *by E***E on July 30, 2022* Tried a couple of internal filters but had no luck keeping my tank cleaned even for the week. No luck with the black internal sponge filter nor small hybrid sponge/biomedia both purchased from AMZ. I was changing the water every wk. This hobby shouldnt have to be that much work. Decided to browse all over AMZ for a suitable sized filter to try. Finally I think I found a keeper. Ideally I wished it was smaller and less bulky in appearance, but it works so hey. I currently have a jumbo glass container to house shrimps, snails, cories, and endlers. Small bioload overall, but my ramshorns are the biggest problem, leaving cloudy waters within the week (I don’t overfeed). For now, I was surprised to actually get much more visibility into my tank. It is like having an updated TV with higher resolution. My water used to be clear with the old filter methods but overtime, those filters stopped being as effective despite cleaning with every tank maintenance. Hopefully this will stay functional for a long time. My shrimps been clinging onto the sponge filter ever since I swapped my filter. Noise - barely noticeable. Output - depends on your air pump. Mine is non adjustable so outflow is not too strong. Set up - super easy straightforward. No manual needed. Sponge is green colored which helps me keep an eye on my shrimps. Would prefer black spronge tho. Try it for yourself!
