Premium High-Density Filter Intake Sponge Sleeve
Protect your delicate livestock and extend the life of your main filtration system with our Premium Intake Sponge Sleeves from Atradesen.com. Designed to slip directly over your filter's water intake pipe, this ultra-fine pre-filter is an absolute must-have for breeding tanks, shrimp tanks, and heavily planted aquariums.
🌟 Ultimate Protection & Pre-Filtration
-
100% Baby Shrimp & Fry Safe: Features a significantly higher density and finer pore structure than standard market sponges. It guarantees that tiny baby shrimp (Neocaridina/Caridina) and newborn fish fry won't get sucked into your filter motor!
-
Advanced Pre-Filter Action: Traps large plant debris, uneaten food, and heavy fish waste before it ever reaches your canister or hang-on-back (HOB) filter. This drastically reduces filter clogging and extends your maintenance intervals.
-
Secure Single-Hole Design: The bottom of the sponge is completely sealed (single-hole entry), ensuring no sneaky gaps for fry to get trapped in.
⚠️ Installation & Purchasing Guide (Please Read)
Enjoy a hassle-free setup by following these Atradesen.com DIY installation tips:
-
🚨 Flexible Installation (Too Tight?): The sponge is slightly elastic. Simply slide it over your existing plastic intake strainer basket. If the basket is too bulky, remove the basket completely and slide the sponge directly onto the bare intake pipe!
-
🚨 Loose Fit Hack (Too Loose?): If your pipe diameter is slightly too small for the sponge, simply secure the top of the sponge tightly to the pipe using a zip-tie or a rubber band for a perfect, bypass-free seal.
-
Packaging Note: The price listed is for ONE (1) sponge sleeve. To offer the best value, these are shipped in eco-friendly bulk packaging (unboxed).
