fx5 pre filter for intake

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
What is the purpose for this? baby fish?

IF you using it just to keep the filter material inside clean. Its a waste of time and money.
 
blocks of sponge work the best as prefilters.. they spread the suction out enough that for the most part fry/small fish/snails dont end up pinned to the filter.. also handy for keeping dead fish and leaves from blocking intakes...
 
I wonder if one of those Aqua Clear pre-filter adapters for their powerheads would fit?

If it does, it would look better aesthetics wise than just covering the exsisting strainer with a sponge.
