Review: Great Product!!! - I bought this sponge filter for my angelfish, who were suddenly spawning every week. The babies were not able to survive if I left the regular filter on. I ended up having to move them to a ten gallon tank, and thus the need for this filter. I have to say, I've never had a better filter. You attach an aerator line to the inside, and that's the only thing you need. The air bubbles oxygenate the water while they also work to draw water through the sponge. All the muck that usually accumulates pretty quickly in my tank was drawn in, and the sponge works to break it all down naturally, which is actually healthier for my fish and plants. And no babies were harmed by this little device. it's gentle, but effective. And the best part is that you do not have to buy filters! Just rinse and squeeze the sponge under room-temp water for a moment and you're done. I'm definitely going to replace my old money-devouring filters in my 55 gallon tank with some like this. These are well worth buying, and actually pretty cheep considering it all. I advise anyone thinking of getting one of these to make the leap. You won't be sorry.
Review: Best starter pump out there. - This pump is great, not loud, move work enough to keep tank clean but not stress out my fish. Filter works great, weekly testing of water shows that it's perfectly balanced. For my 10-gallon tank it great and I would highly recommend. Also, cleaning is super simple and fast. You cannot control the power of the pump, they do have those option available for a little more price, but honestly if you have one tank that you are starting, I'd say start with this.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this really the Pro version?**
A: This is one of those instances in which Amazon has it wrong. Do an online search and you will quickly discover that you can buy the PRO version of the Hydro IV Sponge Filter from another highly reputable source for less money and without the ridiculous $5.99 shipping fee.

**Q: The reviews are conflicting - I see some people mention these are pro filters with the reticulated sponge while others mention they are. What is it?**
A: these are NOT the pro version; those are not sold on Amazon for obvious reasons by the manufacturer 
these sponge filters would be the equivalent of the blue or white sponge mat filters used for canisters but e bit finer pores.

**Q: will the top lift tube fit an Aqua Clear 20 or 40 Powerhead intake?**
A: The Hydro Sponge uses a standard 1" lift tube for all size sponges, exactly the same size used on most under gravel filters. I checked reviews on Amazon for the Aqua Clear 20, and many users report using the Aqua Clear to power their under gravel filter, so I believe the Aqua Clear powerhead would also fit on a Hydro Sponge. I use the Hydro Sponge V "Pro", which uses a special reticulated sponge which resists clogging. The standard filters (non-Pro) have a finer pore structure, so need to be cleaned more often (how often depends on how dirty your fish are, but monthly would be a good place to start). The same company also makes "Filter Max" filters which use the same sponges, but have plastic elbows and several adapters to fit a wider range of powerheads and other water pumps. These might also fit, especially if you removed the plastic cone from the intake of your Aqua Clear.

**Q: If i put 6 of them in a 600 gallon pool plus the original pool filter would that be enough ?**
A: I have never dealt with that volume of water but these are really good sponges, I have to guess that 6 would do a good job but make a lot of surface agitation

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic for fry and amphibian larvae.
*by D***. on June 17, 2012*

After purchasing a pair of small salamander larvae and moving them from their plastic 'critter keeper' to a 5.5 gallon aquarium once they had grown, we were at a loss for filters. We tried a hang on back, and the current was just too strong. We tried an internal filter and not only did it raise the water temperature substantially, but just didn't work very well. At the advice of several members of a salamander forum, I ordered this filter and couldn't be happier. It's quiet, much more effective than the other filters we've tried, and oxygenates the water without creating harsh currents and/or water flow. Set up was a breeze and our caudata larvae are already much more active and spend a lot of time out in the open now that the water is so calm. The fact that this filter keeps the water crystal clear also makes viewing them much easier. So whether you've got fish fry, amphibian larva, or something that just needs peaceful water conditions, I'd definitely recommend this product. Two thumbs up.
