## Description

AQUANEAT 6-Pack Pre-Filter Sponge for Aquarium Shrimp Fry Fish Tank Filter 0.8” Intake, Replacement Foam Cover

## Features

- Dimension: 8x4.5cm/3.2” x1.8”, the inside hole diameter is 2cm/0.8”; for a snug fit, check the size you need carefully before placing an order. The sponge's inner diameter accommodates filter intake within 0.69-1.15 inches (17.7–29.2 mm) due to its elastic properties.
- Lifesaver: Keeps baby fish, shrimp, and snails from getting sucked into hob filters, power heads or canister filters by simply putting a pc of this pre-filter sponge over the intake.
- Improve Filtration: Does a good job in catching flake fish foods, plants and any other large particles floating in the water keeping the tank cleaner and last longer between cleanings.
- Maintenance: Rinse the sponge roll periodically based on the bio load of your aquarium tank. The material holds up well to being rinsed and reused and allows great water flow.
- Includes: 6 pcs of pre-filter sponge (Note: The hole doesn't go all the way through the sponge. They come flattened in a vacuum bag; just unpack and rinse them and these sponge filters will puff up to normal shape and size.)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Which of these sponges be closest to a half inch?**
A: If you’re talking about the hole in the middle, it is about a half inch.

**Q: Can the 0.8 intake sponge fit my topfin 40 filter**
A: It should be ok for a 40 gph HOB They are a little big for my 10 gph HOB but i put two rubber bands on it and it stays put. And the intake for a 40 isnt much larger that the 10.  So my guess is that it should fit about right without the rubber bands.  But if not just take 2 hair rubber bands and put then in the sponge and it holds it on tight.

**Q: Is this a carbon filter?**
A: This is not a carbon filter. This is a pre-filter sponge that goes over the inlet tube for HOB (hang on back) filter systems to prevent baby fish/shrimp from getting sucked up the tube and into the filter.

**Q: What is the ppi (porosity)?**
A: I couldnt tell you how big the holes are in the sponges. But I can tell you that I use this spongs in a tank with Shrimp. I currently plenty if baby shrimp and I dont seem to have issues with the babies being pulled through the sponge and into the filter as I have a lot of them. So it is small enough holes to prevent small shrimp from going through it. But it does allow good flow as my filter flow is steady and doesnt seem to be slowed by it.
