Fluval AquaClear Intake Strainer Sponge (AC20 / AC30 / AC50)

Essential Pre-Filter Protection for Smaller Fish & Smooth Pump Performance

Protect your aquatic pets and keep your filter running efficiently with the Fluval AquaClear Intake Strainer Sponge. Designed to slip directly over the filter intake tube, this high-density foam sleeve acts as a mechanical pre-filter. It traps floating debris, algae filaments, and organic waste before they reach the main motor—ensuring consistent water flow and extending the lifespan of your pump. Crucially, it creates a gentle barrier over the intake grid to prevent fry, baby shrimp, and small fish from being drawn into the filter.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Safe for Fry & Small Fish: Soft foam cover prevents delicate species, shrimp, and baby fish from getting trapped in the intake.

  • Pump Protection: Traps coarse debris and algae filaments before they reach the impeller, maintaining steady, clog-free water flow.

  • Easy Installation: Slides quickly over the intake tube with a secure, snug fit.

  • Dual-Aquarium Compatibility: Safe for use in both freshwater and marine setups.

  • Reusable & Easy to Clean: Simple to rinse out during routine water changes to maintain biological and mechanical efficiency.
