Does anyone know the size of the plastic tube (diameter) ? I was thinking of attaching a DIY fluidized filter to the top of the sponge filter. Thanks

I'd have to measure. But it's the same size as a undergravel filter uplift tube.

A plastic water bottle it's a loose fit for the tube by perhaps a 1 mm or 2

The pre filter... yes its like a sponge.... the HEPA paper filter I would just gently vacuum it to extend the life of the filter

Your best bet is to take one out of your filter tank and measure it. As I recall its got to do with the length and not diameter. I used DE filter on two pools for 20 years. I jumped to a Sand Filter. Wish I had jumped years ago. Functionability and operations is sooo much better with a sand filter. The price to replace the filter fingers made me throw away the DE and go to sand.

The dimensions for the sonaki filters are as follows- length 4" with 4 little prongs on the bottom that extend about 3/8 of an inch. Diameter 1" on top, slightly smaller at bottom, 3/4 of an inch. Sorry for the late response!

The pad is 12" in diameter and 1.25" thick. I like to use my own pads which I cut out of Malata filter sheets and cut them to 12.25" so they will fit snugly at the bottom of the filter. Hope this helps.

I'm also having this issue. None of the filters here on Amazon seem to be the requisite (approximately) 6-3/4 diameter that would work. Right now I'm thinking I'll buy this larger size Counter Composter Replacement Filters: Large 2 Gallon, and cut it down to the correct size. It may be something that could be purchased elsewhere, but I'm just not finding it on Amazon. It is more than a bit frustrating!

My filter is 8"x10". I use 1/2 cup in a 5 gal bucket. Start out with warm warm/hot water and let it soak overnight. I made up a nozzle that concentrates the water spray about 2" across the filter pleats and wash out the yuck. I rotate filters to let one dry out so it goes in like a new filter.

The best way to gain that info is to visit their site. I do not know the size as I already installed it and discarded the info. I am happy with this filter and will buy from them again.

Hi, I'm using this in my shrimp tank and I would get a sponge filter for the nozzle which is what I am using! :)

It was about 5 inches taller than the original pre-filter, if I recall correctly. I just wrapped it around the filter and cut it to size. Well worth the cost.

The filter itself is 9 1/2 inches by 2 1/2 inches & flat. It sits in a filter that hangs from the side of the tank. Hope that helps.

The flexible tube is 3/8 inch...maybe a hair over. The larger part is just under 1 inch. This has been perfect for my small 10 gallon tank.

I am not quite sure. I only used what came with the tank. I do agree that the filter is a little too powerful for this small of a tank. I would just ask that question on google.

I think it's small enough to fit; just know that it drips when you use the sponge and also some when you wipe away with the other side. I measured it and it's about 11 inches long.

What size filter do you use in it? If you don't use one now ask a friend or neighbor if u can borrow a paper size filter size 4 and then you will know

I currently have sponge filters connected to 12 10-gallon tanks, 2 20-gallon tanks, and 2 29-gallon tanks. Please note that the fish are mostly guppies and cories so they don't need that much aeration. I could probably connect more tanks if needed.
