Fluval 19686 Intake Strainer Sponge for AC70/AC110

Keep small fish safe and your system protected with the Fluval 19686 Intake Strainer Sponge for AC70/AC110 Power Filter. This sponge is designed to act as a first line of defense in your aquarium filtration system, helping protect both your equipment and aquatic life. Positioned over the filter intake, this pre-filter sponge captures debris before it reaches the pump, supporting smoother operation and more consistent water flow. As water is drawn into the filter, particles such as algae, waste, and uneaten food can accumulate and potentially clog or strain the system. The product helps intercept these materials early, reducing buildup inside the filter and helping maintain steady performance over time.

In addition to protecting the filter, this sponge also helps safeguard small or delicate fish by preventing them from being pulled into the intake. This makes it especially useful for tanks with fry, shrimp, or smaller species that may be more vulnerable. Easy to install and designed for a secure fit on Fluval AC70 and AC110 Power Filters, this pre-filter media is suitable for both freshwater and saltwater aquariums. The Fluval 19686 provides a simple and effective way to improve filtration efficiency while supporting a safer, healthier tank environment.
