"These do the job well. They also don't release all the gunk back into your tank when you take them out to clean them, unlike most pre filter sponges. I also found they fit the intakes of the Aquaclear 70's and 110's perfectly."

Bottom Line

It’s worth buying if you're looking to keep your tank clean. Includes accessories and fits well into a variety of filters. The only thing lacking is some instructions, but it helps the filters perform above the usual.
