I was re-reading articles about filtration and you talk about cheap Chinese filters. Would Aquatop fall under this category? That’s what I have been using and they seem pretty good but I don’t know how well there really working.

Yes, a ATI would hold 5x the amount and not drop waste back in the tank when you go to clean it.

Yes, the AquaTop is a typical Chinese knock off. The sad part is just like with UV Sterilizers made in China that are actually UV Clarifier, these cr## Chinese knock offs have soiled the name of good UVs and sponge filters. Just like with Youtube, forum, and Facebook posts stating UVs are useless, I now see BS armchair experts stating sponge filters are not that good or that they are all the same, when in fact nothing is further from the truth.

That’s good to know. I may replace mine in the future. I can’t afford to replace them al at once though. The ones I have seem to work fine for I’m doing but It couldn’t hurt to have better ones. Thanks, Mark

You can just switch out the sponges as all the parts are the same.
