It doesn't really fit with it on but if I take it off when I clean the sponge that'll def suck up a fish without that piece.... turn it off every time you clean the sponge?

Love your pre filter video. Adding these to my tanks has increased the survival rate of various shrimp I breed. I keep floating plants which collect around the course filter acting as a pre-pre filter. Neocardina and ghost shrimp basically live in this nest. For my other tanks it collects enough leftover food fish peck out the bits etc. If for no other reason. Use it to save the life of your pumps.

Thanks Cory, I can't get your filters up here so I cut one out of a large AquaClear sponge. It does a great job and once the tank was well established I put it in the next tank I was cycling because of the bacteria and by then the tank I took it from has a good bacterial content. I saw a video on using a foam filled canister before say an FX4 and then filling the FX4 with ceramics. I am hoping to find someone from Canada going down to your store so I can get some of your foam, perfect density in my mind.

Did this today on my Juwel Bioflow Super 500. It's got quite some intake ribbon on top of the pump. The white filter floss was already clogged up after one day (!). So the water flow was very low. So I cleaned it. Put it back and the flow was strong again. Watched this video and the next thing I did was putting a pre-filter against the ribbon. This works! The pump flow stays strong now. Litter is staying against the sponge. Perfect!

I use them on cans and HOB's except for the Tidals. It does no good at all on a Tidal as little to no flow goes up the intake tube anyway. All the water goes through the vents right next to the intake tube or through the skimmer. Enough about that garbage...Since buying 2 of these pre-filter sponges for each filter I just swap them out every 2 weeks and clean them when it is convenient. A great product with a decent price.

ALSO did you make the hole smaller on the large or is there still the need to make Gaskets and what not to fit the AC 70/300's? .. TY

Hi Cory. I have an Oase FIltoSmart 100 canister that moves 160gph setup on a 29g tank. A couple of my newly added neons looked like they were gonna get sucked up so I tried the filter bag hack. But I find that its looking fairly clogged with brown gook after just three days which I'm guessing because the mesh is too fine. I'm looking at picking one of your filters to replace it. I was thinking the medium would be good for my size filter and tank. What would you recommend?

I got sucked into buying a topfin filter and I absolutely dislike/hate it. They made it so it only fits their own brand cartridges, and the intake is so bulky that I can’t fit an intake sponge on it, I only have the small intake sponges available where I’m located. But I have two hang out backs, and one of them is another brand that allowed the pre-filter sponge, and holy. I get more gunk out of my pre-filter sponge then I do my filter. It keeps my sponges in my filter wayyy cleaner, and it’s the absolute best. One of my best purchases for sure. My topfin one however, everything gets all stuck in there, and it’s gross and nasty and everything gets sucked up so my sponge in that one is always filthy and covered in junk. Thanks to Cory I learned about the pre-filter sponge in his modifying hang on backs, (the video he pulled up in this video.) and it’s done me so good. I can’t wait to ditch the topfin one I have, and upgrade. Because it will save me soooo much cleaning. 😫
