The filter works well in my 30-gallon tank. Water stays clear and fish are active. The sponge doesn’t clog easily and I only clean it every 4-6 weeks. Great for a nano setup with bettas and shrimp.

I’ve used this in a 40-gallon tank for three months. It maintains water quality and adds good oxygen. The ceramic media helps with beneficial bacteria growth. Slight improvement in water clarity after a few weeks.

Perfect for my shrimp tank. The flow is gentle and doesn’t stress the shrimp. Easy to clean and the filter stays quiet even during operation. I’ve used it for over two months with no issues.
