I use this filter in my 10-gallon shrimp tank and it has kept the water very clean. The sponge doesn’t clog easily and the water stays well-oxygenated. It’s quiet and easy to clean every two weeks.

Works well as a supplemental filter in my 15-gallon betta tank. The ceramic media helps maintain stable water conditions. I noticed less fish waste buildup after installing it.

Great for a nano tank. The filter is compact and effective. I appreciate the quiet operation and the fact that it handles uneaten food well without clouding the water.
