goose32373: These prevent you from having to clean your filter as much and they also provide a great place for beneficial bacteria to grow.

JamesJames: Using on my aquaclear 30 and am very happy, fits perfect and catches any uneaten food and provides even further filtration

Should fit Aquaclear 20, 30 and 50 models. The 70 and 110 use a larger intake tube

Joel B.: It functioned as expected. Fit tight to the intake tube.

AlexAlex: To start. I have this on an aquaclear 20 HOB filter. To my knowledge almost all the aquaclear line up intakes are roughly the same size so it should work on those. I know when looking at reviews/questions i like to know exact sizes so I provided a couple of pics for reference.

Dam IT Computers: I thought this filter would be bigger..... The inner diameter is not the size I thought it'd be I made it work but It restricted the water flow of my filter so I took it off and had to purchase something different. Overall this is for smaller pumps!

The pump I own is a Tidal 75!! If you are planning on using this on that filter do not! It will not fit coorectly! The sponge is way too small!

I'm giving this 5 stars because with the right filter it'd work great! But taking away stars because of my lack of research is not fair!

Tibu: It's prefiltering lot's of debris before the water would go to the main filter.
The fishes also like, because they can find some reminder food there.

Saugdüse 21Saugdüse 21: Diese Filterpatrone habe ich in meinem Aquarium auf das Ansaugrohr des Rucksackfilters gesteckt, wo er die Garnelenbabys schützen sollte.
Da passt sie auch perfekt, kein Baby flutscht durch, die Oberfläche wird gerne abgeweidet.

Allerdings geht der Durchfluss nach sehr kurzer Zeit, wir sprechen hier von 3-4 Tagen, richtig in die Knie.

Ich habe versucht, nur den Filterschwamm vorsichtig abzuziehen um ihn auszuwaschen, aber dabei verliert er leider ziemlich viel Schmodder wieder.
Den ganzen Filter wollte ich jetzt auch nicht 2x die Woche abnehmen.
Habe diese Lösung daher leider verwerfen müssen.

Bei ein paar Tieren geht das sicherlich ganz gut, bei hohem Besatz definitiv nicht zu empfehlen.

JimmyBlues: UPDATE: I have been using these Fluval pre-filters for the past few years now, and
they really are quite useful in easing the load on an aquarium filter's mechanical filtration.

I have these pre-filters on most of my planted aquaria, and I clean them once a week, since the flow is noticeably slower by that time.

The fact that the water flow in an aquarium filter can be down to a trickle within a week's time, after installing one of these pre-filters on its intake, should give the reader an idea of their superb filtering ability.

These filters are also available on Amazon.com in 3 packs for about $4.88, including shipping. This is the best deal that I have seen on these pre-filters.

The reader should also find of interest that while these pre-filters are sold for the Aquaclear 20 filters on the Fluval 6 & 12 gallon Edge aquariums, they can also be used on the intakes of most filters whose diameter is up to a half inch, since these pre-filters will stretch a bit.

The key is to clean them weekly so that they maintain good water flow. Until you have used a pre-filter, whether it's the Fluval or one from another aquarium filter manufacturer,...
