AquaClear Quick Filter A-575 Powerhead Attachment (fits most sizes AquaClear Powerheads)

Versatile prefilter that works a lot better than a sponge! It remains clear long after most sponges clog! I easily connected it to a HOB filter and I use it as the only filter in 2 different aquariums on 2 different sized power heads. A 40 gallon breeder and a standard 55 gallon. It seems to be fragile so handle with caution but I would think it would be easy to fix if it were to break. Moderately easy to rinse filter and reuse numerous times. Sometimes a bit of detritus gets stuck in the center and needs picked out with some tweezers. Not a major hassle but still an inconvenience. It is much larger than a sponge and does not fit well in aquariums under 15 or 20 gallons. I have it on a HOB filter in a 10 gallon and it pretty much sits on the substrate and is a little more than an inch from the surface of the water.

Very versatile and necessary for any Aquaclear powerhead that isn't attached to an undergravel filter. Best used to hold loosely-packed filter batting but carbon or other media can be used. Also recommend putting a filter bag over the inner cage, too.

I run a 120 gallon tank with two of these and the water is absolutely crystal clear. I also run co2 through a line that goes in through a hole that I drilled in the bottom and comes out a sweetwater airstone inside the cylinder. This works even better than the a co2 reactor. I put some filtrr media in the cylinders and that is the only filtration I have or need. The best and cheapest co2 injection and filtration system possible for my tank

It gave my aquarium crystal clear water in conjunction with a aquarium filter. Also use no carbon or other things inside of it just put the bag around the cage and let it run it will act as your bio max. Use the other filter for activated carbon. End wait and see the results you will be astonished

everything was great

Needed this to be able to reuse the power heads they fit because we removed the under gravel filter due to a pest snail out break. This works great when doubled up per power head to hold it up high off the bottom on our 90 gallon tank. the under gravel filter tubes used to hold it for us. We never had the clips or suction cups to hold it up.It's about the size of a tall pop/beer can and doubles up nicely. It will provide more bio filtering while the new sand bottom that replaced stones takes hold.(off topic)We were told that fluval cycle is the very best for only important bacteria to save the tank with all the fish still in it after making such a change and it did exactly that and we lost no fish. You could see it trying to get bad and then you add the fluid and it's crystal clear again. This is great info for those who make major changes to their tanks like we had to. We didn't loose any fish or plants.

Bought this for my Cobalt Aquatics Power Head/Pump MJ1200( a great pump btw) I really like this thing. I fill it with either floss or filter sponge. Really helps sweep up the day to day mulm etc. And ads a back up filter and bacteria colony for ammonia etc.The only issue was getting it attached to the pump. I had to jury Rig using a piece of clear tubing , not hard. If you want to know what I did, Contact me.I really do like the design and the ease of cleaning and changing the media.not much to it but just what I was looking for,.
