Intake: sponge guard against fish being drawn in

Freshwater and marine. It hangs on the tank frame, so allow clearance behind the aquarium and check the rim will take it.
The inlet sponge stops small fish and shrimp being drawn in, which makes it usable on a fry or shrimp tank as supplied.
Unplug the unit at the mains before putting your hands in the tank or opening it up. Water and a live mains connection are the one combination in this hobby that can actually kill you.
Leave a drip loop in the cable — a downward bend below the socket — so water running down the flex drips off the bottom of the loop instead of running into the socket.
Do not run it dry. Fill the body before switching on, and check the water level regularly — a hang-on filter is the first thing to lose its prime when the tank evaporates down.
