UPETTOOLS Aquarium Biochemical Filtration Sponge

Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: The media could not be loaded.  use this in a temporary 3 gallon tank for my fish (going to upgrade soon), nothing can beat this filter! I took out the filter that originally came with this TopFin tank and it was horrible. This tank was also used to house betta fry temporarily, and it was very gentle with them and I loved that I could adjust the flow with the valve (you need to buy a separate air pump - I used the tetra brand, and you need to buy a separate check valve & airline tubing.) anyway, it’s great. Even the baby betta fry found it gentle enough to eat little micro organisms growing on it. My water has never been this clear before. It was always murky and cloudy and I feel like this filter is magic. I also washed it out before when it collected brown tannins and dirt after using it for a while, and it came out clean as new. I still have the free extra green sponge they gave me when I placed this order, which won’t be until a long time I’ll use it. Great buy! Would definitely buy again when I upgrade/get a bigger tank.

Chelsea Weinrich: I have been waiting to write a review until I have fully used this product and I am happy to say that it has worked wonders on our fish tank. It has kept our tank clean as well as been gentle on our Beta fish. I have reordered this once already and I will be ordering it again when needed.

mrs. teriberymrs. teribery: We bought Alex (the axolotl) a new sponge filter after his regular starter filter broke. I have fish experience but this is our first aquatic amphibian so I wanted to make sure I got him something stronger than a Walmart brand anyways.

After reading reviews I picked an air pump line in my order however, I expected there to be some sort of motor in the filter and to my surprise I was very wrong.

This filter ONLY includes:
plastic filter casing, 4 baggies of media balls, 4 sponges, 2 suction cups.

But no instructions (I mean… it’s kind of dummie proof if I can figure it out in under 10min) you WILL need to buy an AIR PUMP and AIR LINE/TUBE.

I also read that someone had experienced a chemically smell before a random illness attacked her fish school, due to this I ran everything under extremely hot water and allowed to cool before placing it in my tank. This is probably something you should always do anyways, no matter the filter…

We found the spout could be either over or under the waters surface, and the colors really did bring a lot of life to the tank.
Overall we are very satisfied- after a week of no filter, and a late night 85%...
