Review: Works really well - This is a really good product and I'm glad I decided to purchase it. Needed to increase my biological filtration and this was the perfect answer. It has a good lift of water for such a small pump and is more than adequate to do the job. The pump is completely quiet and the water outlet is gentle and causes little disturbance. It has worked well since being installed and the filters are simple and easy to clean. I am really pleased with the results of this filter, it looks unobtrusive in the aquarium and having two spare filter sponges included is a bonus. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this filter for the small to medium aquarium, it has certainly made a difference to the quality of the water in my aquarium.
Review: Great Sponge Filter. - I bought the smaller size. It creates a medium to gentle flow through my 105litre tank which is what I wanted for the fish and the plants seem to be doing good/ok. Water parameters have been very stable with 13 neons and a Betta. (Update: fairly stable with 14 neons, Betta, 5 Otos, 4 Neocaridina, 5 snails in my mostly planted tank) The sponges clog up and I need to clean alternate sponges about every 10 days to keep the water flow up. So the same sponge will be cleaned about every 20 days. I left both sponges for a couple week at the beginning and the out flow nearly turned into a trickle. It cleans the water nicely but obviously I have some debris build up at the opposite end of the tank that I can either find another filter for or just Vac it out when I do a water change. I think the suction is good for the size of the motor. It's also very quiet, the loudest part is the water flowing into the tank as my outlet head is above water. The video I've attached is during a water change, after I've cleaned a sponge. Update: after four and half months the flow had slowed significantly and it couldn't have been due to the sponges. I took it out, cleaned the pipes even though they were quite clear other than just a slime build up. (Don't clean the ceramic balls) Then I connected it all back up, plugged it in and it stopped working. It wasn't broken as I could feel the motor vibrating so I contacted the sellers to which they said I should clean the motor aswell. Here's how to clean the motor: I managed to open the motors bottom lid with effort, then a plastic cover lifts off showing the rotor and water channel. Pull out the rotor, clean the area and pop everything back togethor. For some reason I had to tap the motor downward for the rotor to start spinning again! And now it's nearly like new.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you buy replacement sponges and ceramic balls which are the same as provided in the pack please.**
A: Well, we're all still waiting, 2 years later! Even with careful cleaning these sponges become less effective over time, where are the cheap, sponge only, promised spares? You seriously expect us to buy a whole new replacement unit? You could put a sponge spares item on sale tomorrow if you valued your customers! I won't buy Aqaa again

**Q: How often do the sponges have to be changed**
A: If you regularly clean them when you do a water change. Clean one sponge alternatively. They should last 6 months or longer.

**Q: Hi all am i correct in thinking that the 3w or5w indicates the wattage of the filter? thanks in advance 👍**
A: It is the power of then internal motor of the filter so doesnt require a seperate air pump as this as built in motor the 3 watt is for smaller tanks say 20 gallon the 5 watt is good up to 30-40 gallon

**Q: Its working but no bubbles, is this normal?**
A: Yes its fine. If you want to have bubbles you can insert an air line but i have 2 of these and they are great with no bubbles and very quiet. Also make sure u keep the outtake along top of water to allow surface agitation.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Product, Great Value!
*by J***. on 20 January 2022*

Bought the smallest version of this filter (not that small as it happens) for a pair of peacock cichlids in a 70l tank. Its not noisy at all other than the trickling water sound you het because the outflow pipe sits above the waterline. Easy to clean both filter sponges as they can be pulled off and push back on without taking the filter out of the water. However, if you want a filter that has a strong propulsion that makes a current in the water then this isnt for you. The outflow pipe sits above the waterline which allows the filtered water to break the surface and add extra air for your fish but it doesnt come out fast enough to create a current of water around your tank which would be important for a bigger tank than mine or one much more stocked with fish. I like this filter and would buy it again for sure 👍🏻
