It clogs up prety fsast, clean it every 3 days.
I can now have mystery snails, they would get sucked up into the intake and die.

Too small and lack of proper flow
I had purchased a pre-filter from Aquarium Coop last year, and it was perfect. I wanted to try this product to save money, and was very disappointed. I have a Marineland Penguin 350. This product didn't fit over the intake very well, and needed to be stretched open to fit. The filters are not big enough to be effective, providing little surface area for beneficial bacteria. The structure of the sponge is very closed cell, leaving little room for water flow. After mounting the product on my filter intake and turning the pump on, it immediately became apparent not enough water can flow through this, causing my HOB filter to make a loud noise as it tried to pull water in. Due to it's construction, it got clogged very quickly, within a day, and I threw it away. I would not recommend this pre-filter.

Large filter sponge

Good sponges
These work very well but I should have got a smaller size which is my fault, not the fault of the product. I wrapped zip ties around my filter tubes to keep these on them because, again, I should have bought a smaller size but I did not even look at the size of these but I do like them and they do the job they're made to do.

Make sure it is clean!
The fit was as advertised and worked fine with a little stretching, which is good for a secure fit. However, on first use a large amount of soapy scum came from the sponge and created an oily foam at the top of my tank. Turned the filter off and removed the sponge immediately but it was too late. Two partial water changes later and my water is still dirty. Will probably need to do a full tank cleanout to get rid of it. Will likely try one of the stainless mesh options instead.

good
Tough foam and can be stretched over a Penn Plax filter intake. Price is a bit steep.
