Pros & Cons

The sponge fits perfectly over my 10-20 gallon aqua-clear hang-over-back filter intake tube. It fit perfectly over the output valve without any modifications.

This helps increase the longevity of the filter since it doesn’t get clogged so quickly. The filter's suction seems to work just as good with the predicted. Considering that i was replacing carbon filters every few weeks before adding this, it's a far... Read More

They do not slip off at least the one i put on a month ago hasn’t when the filter starts to get dirty you will notice that the full waterfall on the aquaclear will go from a 100 percent waterfall to about a 70 percent or so waterfall takes about 2 weeks for my setup

Just be aware that these will also need to be replaced every so often
