Ista Hydro Bio Sponge Filter - Size Mini Round (5 Gallons) Reviews

"Works great." - Product Review by Americo Rodriguez (Posted on 6/13/12)
Rating
Excellent!

Comments: You will not find it cheaper any where else. Perfect in helping to keep tank crystal clear & your bioload steady. The bubbles come out at the right size not breaking up the surface. Quite & reliable. You will find fish & your tank cleaners feasting on the sponge. Getting at the debri stuck on to the sponge helping you from cleaning it sooner then you needed.

"Bubbles not finely diffused" - Product Review by Edward Cleaver (Posted on 3/21/12)

Average

Comments: I love the size of this filter for my 5 gallon planted shrimp tank. However, the bubbles are not finely diffused which disturbs the water's surface and probably doesn't oxygenate the tank as well either. I took this apart to see if I could put a diffuser stone inside the assembly and this did not seem possible without significantly altering and possible ruining the plastic pieces which hold the sponge in place. If this item had better oxygen diffusion I think it would deserve a 5 star rating!

"inefective" - Product Review by Frank Betancourt (Posted on 1/9/12)
Rating
Unsatisfactory

Comments: The air lift tubing is to short, making the draw through the sponge innefective. The built in air difuser does not break the pump air into small bubbles creating large bubbles and making it rather noisy.

"Bio Sponge" - Product Review by Joel Clark (Posted on 12/27/10)

Excellent!

Comments: Great product to build up biological filter to move between quarantine tanks. I am also using these as a air driven backup to my breeding tank system. Air provides backup in case of power outage and main pump stops.
