Aquarium Pre-Filter Sponge Intake Cover for Fish & Shrimp (20mm)

Aquarium Pre-Filter Sponge Intake Cover for Fish & Shrimp (20mm)

Aquarium pre-filter sponge intake cover sized at 20mm, a shrimp and fish guard for filter intakes of that diameter.

Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + The 20mm size is clearly stated, so matching the intake is simple
  • + Stops shrimp, fry and plant debris from entering the filter
  • + Keeps impellers cleaner, which cuts down on rattle and wear

Trade-offs

  • - Only suits intakes near 20mm, so thinner tubes need a different cover
  • - Foam density is basic, so check it suits your filter's flow rate

Prices change often, so check the current price and availability on Amazon.
