Review: filter and substrate compatibility - I've been using this filter system for almost a month, and overall, it's a good product. However, it does feel a bit large for a 10-gallon tank. I found that placing it in a corner works best, although I did try moving it to the center to see how it looked. Personally, I prefer it in the corner. One thing to note: if you're using a bio-substrate like Fluval, which tends to make the water cloudy, this filter might not be the best match. During tank cleanings, the substrate particles can get stirred up, increasing cloudiness. These fine particles tend to settle on the filter, and because of its small crevices and hard-to-reach areas, cleaning can be a bit of a hassle. It may help to cap the substrate with a layer of sand or grow a carpeting plant like hair grass to reduce particle disturbance, but I haven’t gotten around to trying that yet. My tank currently houses a betta and a few ghost shrimp, so I can't speak to how well this filter performs in a more heavily stocked or larger tank like a 20-gallon with active fish. But for a lightly stocked setup, it works well. Just be mindful of the substrate and maintenance needs. P.S. The tannins in the water are from the driftwood, not the filter. I also added a photo of when I first set everything up to the most recent picture.
Review: Excellent filter, just make sure to wash really well - It's a sponge filter with decent quality plastic that seems to be better than most of the other market. (definitely more durable than any of the Lee's product). Sponge can be removed easily for cleaning, you do not need to disassemble any components to do so. The outlet can also be adjusted so you can have it in or out of water- I usually have out of water for good water circulation. Instead being sitting on the substrate, it attaches to the glass which actually prevent junk build up on the bottom. Even better that it has little room for you to add any of your filter media for extra biochemical filtration power. There are three things that you need to be aware of: -You will need more than 1w air pump for it to work, so if you're using USB air pumps or other small form, it may not work well. Regular 2.5w air pump, like Tetra whisper will do just fine. -**you MUST wash sponge in hot water before using it** It may or may not hurt the fish, but the sponges that I received had strong chemical smell. I had to wash it in running hot water, in the bucket for good 15 minutes to get rid of the smell. -this sponge filter works by culturing bacteria (that breaks down ammonia from fish's excrements to safer substances) into the sponge. **IT DOES NOT HAVE THAT BACTERIA OUT OF BOX**, you will need to cycle the tank properly WITH THIS FILTER before using it. If "tank cycling" sounds unfamiliar to you, then please go research that before getting a fish. If you have already added the fish before reading the tank cycling, I'd suggest getting a FritzZyme turbo product, a bottled live bacteria.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super Happy Customer (and Happy Fish lol)
*by K***6 on March 31, 2021*

Soooo...I am a newbie at all this fish stuff. I bought a betta for my daughter less than a year ago and I have struggled with cloudy water and semi high ammonia levels (even though I do the required water changes and have tried everything Google and Pet stores have recommended to try) I had been using the filter that came with my tank (which was supposed to be a really good filter...) but I continued having these issues with cloudy water and ammonia etc. I finally decided to try a different filter...and after doing some more reading and research, I decided on this submersible filter. When it got delivered I was confused because I didn't know you HAD to have an air pump in order for this filter to work lol...sooo I went out the next day and purchased an air pump and tubing...got it all set up...and its freakin AWESOME! As you can see in the before and after pictures, it cleared my water up in 24hrs or less! The video was immediately after I put it in, so it was still cloudy in the video....but the "after" picture was literally the next day. The set up was quick...the delivery was fast...I have had zero issues with the sponges or the suction...everything seems to be working great! I only gave 4 stars because I have only had the filter in there for a week or less....so I can't really comment on longevity of the product....but...so far so good! I def recommend :)
