This is very small perfect for tanks for 1 gallon it's a shame it did not fit the pump I had for it though.

I’ve had this in a 2g shrimp tank for over a year and it’s been great. I paired it with a Tetra Whisper air pump so it’s very quiet. I recommend tossing the included control valve and connecting it straight to a backflow stopper valve. I have no complaints whatsoever. As an experienced home aquarist, I recommend this to anyone with a small tank.

It's very great for à 3 gallons tank. I did put inside a air stone and it's perfect !

Good for little snail and shrimp tanks or a small betta tank.Standard sponge filter. The micro hose attachment it comes with is a bit... cheap. The pressure valve is generic junk, minus 1 star. Just don't include them and save everyone a few cents. They don't work.Get your self a multigang attachment or a real pressure valve. You can attach with a normal 3/16 hose as well.I ended up shortening the acrylic tube a bit because it was a bit too tall for my tank, no issue there, just a quick cut.Pretty lightweight, but it doesn't float as long as you soak the sponge. I'd glue a rock to the bottom though, because it can drift around a bit if you bump the hose.

I am using this for my 1 gallon tank and it is the perfect size. I will probably order more for my other tanks to replace the air stones. I would recommend this to anyone that has an aquarium.There isn't anything negative to comment about this sponge filter. It comes with everything you need for setup. I did use some aquarium safe super glue to hold the air tube in the center. I have several snails in the tank and baby shrimps that will go into this once the tank cycles. Just wanted to be extra safe. I do want to make a suggestion to other buyers. You need to add a check valve to stop the water flow from coming back into the pump. These are super cheap and will save you money and keep your tank safe. You cut your hose, then put the check valve in with the arrow pointing in the right direction. It will prevent the pump from siphoning your fish tank. The water can leak onto the floor, draining your entire tank and damaging your air pump.You are getting great bang for your buck and I would love to see them give another option of a small air pump. I would buy the combo for sure. For now, I use a small pump and can regulate the air with the control valve that comes with the kit. Something I have seen mentioned in the reviews is the suction cups. Mine didn't come with any but I really didn't need them. Maybe it is also something they stopped including. For the price guys, this works super well and I am super happy I was able to find it.

Works Ok but will not clean the water very well. I still need to drain a good part of the water twice a week, even with only 2 Gold Fish! (Big and Pico)

I bought a second one I liked this so much! Im using it to filter water for raising tadpoles, and theyre the perfect size. I did need to get a flow adjustor to make sure that the air wasnt on too strong, but thats easy enough.Standard sponge filter otherwise, easy to set up and dead simple to use.

I have 2 very small 1/2 gallon tanks I use for raising fish fry, so I really needed something that would help create some water movement and filtrate at the same time, and so I ordered 2 of these. At first, I thought, boy are these small, but always being one to give something new a try, I incorporated them into the small fish fry tanks. Surprisingly, they have worked out well. Coupled with a very small air pump, that runs very low pressure, they add just the right amount of agitation to the water to keep the tank from becoming stagnant without taking up a huge amount of space in a small tank. And it filters the water well, giving a place for your beneficial bacteria to grow and help maintain a health environment. Again, this is small, and works for a very specific sized environment. I plan on ordering another couple just to have on backup.Any tank bigger and you'll likely want a bigger unit, but this one, used with a low pressure air pump won't throw your little fishes against their surroundings and injure or stress them out.
