## Description

desertcart.com : hygger USB Single Sponge Filter, Small Aquarium Filter with Adjustable Hanging Clip and Suction Cup, Duckbill Outlet, Rain Pipe Outlet, Extra Spare Sponge : Pet Supplies

Review: Perfect for small tank - Perfect for a 5-gallon! I really like that there is not a separate compressor. It's very quiet; the water splashing from the "rain" tube is the loudest part. It aerates the water well. I clean out the sponge every 3-4 weeks and I can tell when it needs cleaning because the rain turns into a sprinkle. Easy to set up and use, and bonus, the frogs like to sit on it (or under it). I chose this brand because Hygger is well known, and I'm not disappointed.
Review: So frustrated and disappointed - Update: it was user error. I realized after re-reading everything several times that I needed to squish the living daylights out of the sponge when I cleaned it. It's a beginner's error, as I thought I needed to be gentle with it. Once everything was clean, everything started flowing so nicely! However, still not full stars because the sponge does seem to be getting clogged/full rather quickly, after 2-3 days the water flow is starting to diminish already. Otherwise, it's great price point for a sponge that has its own pump included, plus the biomedia and flexibility to add to the container (I added a small amount of charcoal, for example, and previously seeded with old media). The flexibility and price point is really great for someone beginning the hobby! This was the original review: I'm so sad and frustrated. At just 4 days past the return period, I cannot get this filter to flow normally again. I cleaned the sponge at least 1x a week inside and outside, and scrubbed the intake. 2x within this month, I disassembled the pipes and scrubbed with a toothbrush and straw cleaning brush, and made sure to clean the little individual outlet holes of the "rain" attachment. Last night was the 2nd time I cleaned it this way, and for good measure I also opened the media recepticle and made sure it wasn't clogged with anything, plus scrubbed the intake from within that area. This filter has been steadily declining to now only outputting a dribble of water, and now I'm afraid my nitrogen cycle is crashing and my fish look stressed. There is no way to contact the seller after the 30 day period to try to troubleshoot, I cannot take the filter apart any further or I would void the warranty, so now I'm left to writing this review.

## Features

- FILTRATION PRINCIPLE: ① The water flows through the microporous filter sponge, absorbs impurities in the water. ② The water continues to flow through the ceramic ball, absorbing and decomposing impurities. ③The filtered water then passes through the extension tube and flows out through the water outlet
- REPLACEABLE FILTER SPONGE: The first level is physical filtration. The water flows through the microporous filter sponge. The multi-layer design has a larger surface area, full filtration without dead ends, strong water permeability, and is easy to absorb impurities in the water
- REPLACEABLE BIO-BALLS: Second level biochemical filtration, water continues to pass through the small filter box with ceramic balls, precipitates impurities, effectively absorbs and decomposes bad impurities. Please rinse and soak all filter materials before use
- FILTER CLEANING: Two kinds of replaceable filter materials, with a total of 2 sponges, and 1 media boxes with ceramic filters. The filter sponge should be replaced or cleaned every 2-4 weeks, or if the water flow is significantly weakened or off, the filter sponge should be checked and cleaned immediately
- USB ELECTRIC SPONGE FILTER: no need to use with air pump, an inappropriate air pump will cause unstable air pressure and water flow, affecting water circulation and poor filtering effect. The electric design effectively solves this problem, with strong power, stable water pressure and better filtering and purification effect
- ADJUSTABLE: The outlet height can be adjusted by the retractable tube and the sliding clip, which can meet the needs of above or below the water surface and show different usage effects. The outlet direction and filter bottom can also be rotated
- SUITABLE SIZE: With 2 types of water outlets, rainforest pipe outlet and aeration outlet head. Suitable for shrimp tanks, betta fish tanks, breeding, goldfish, discus, crayfish, deep-fried fish, juvenile fish or other fish. Suggest S size for tanks smaller than 10 gallons, M for smaller than 30 gallons

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very quiet and efficient
*by S***G on October 3, 2025*

Works well. Would be nice to have a bit more water movement/output but it does the job. Nice small size with good filtration. VERY QUIET which is a huge plus. I’m not a fan of air pump sponge filters (even though they work well) due to the air pump noise. This one makes zero noise!
