## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this the same sponge that comes with the Marina Slim Filter?**
A: Yes it is. and works just as well...... I've bought several and rotate them after cleaning it real good........  hope this helped...

**Q: Would this sponge be big enough to fit on the intake of an aquaclear 70 filter?**
A: No because the AquaClear 70 tube is wider and the intake slits are longer than the Aquaclear 20/50 tubes which I have used this filter for.   Only draw back is that it is a little loose and closed on the bottom.   I cut a tiny slit in the bottom and push that end up onto the intake tube. It then fits snuggly and is the perfect length.  But what I DO like, and the reason I keep buying them, is because they are coarse and don't get clogged.  I have snail only tanks and there is a ton of biofilm, so the finer filters clog too easily.

**Q: hole diameter?**
A: Don't understand question..... hole diameter for what, be more specific please.....

**Q: Can a bettas tail get snagged on the strainer sponge my betta has a hole in his tail**
A: not really,  but if your filter is too powerful or to close to the tank wall in may get caught.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really Good
*by J***N on October 10, 2024*

Item worked perfect for an intake I had on a filter, I purchased this as I have bamboo shrimp and they love to hang on it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for protecting delicate fry & shrimp
*by S***S on December 31, 2013*

I keep a dozen small aquariums that I use to raise fresh water fish, plants and ornamental shrimp. I have 30+ or more various brand hang on the back type filters designed for 10 to 20 gallon aquariums and I have employed these Marina intake sponges on about half of them. I also use the comparable Fluval Edge Pre Filter Sponges.Both sponges fit onto most strainers that I have including Tetra, Aqueon, Fluval, etc.The Marina sponges are about three times as expensive as the Fluval Sponges when purchased on Amazon. Both sponges are similarly sized and effective at keeping stuff out of the intake. Either sponge can be rinsed and reused. One key difference is that the Marina's are open on the bottom where as the Fluvals are closed like a sock. Being closed gives an extra layer of protection for the most delicate and fragile livestock tiny like baby shrimp. But for most other situations though I prefer to use the Marina sponges. The Fluvals are too fine and get clogged with particulate matter very quickly. My goal is to protect fragile and small livestock and prevent them from entering the filter. The finer Fluval sponges basically pre-filter out everything before it has a chance to enter the main filter chamber and the larger mechanical cartridge basically rendering the filter itself useless and eventually stopping the flow completely. The I have never had these Marina sponges clog, making them a much better option for me.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great pre filter for Aqueon 10
*by M***S on April 11, 2025*

Have it in my 13 gallon with 5 rosy minnows and 1 female betta
