Key Features
- Non-Toxic Food-Grade ABS Frame: Built from high-strength, corrosion-resistant ABS plastic that is safe for fish, shrimp, and aquatic plants even during long-term water immersion — no harmful substances released.
- Efficient Debris Interception: High-density porous filter sponge captures fish waste, leftover food, and suspended particles, reducing clogging and extending your filtration system's maintenance intervals.
- Secure Silicone Suction Cups: Soft, high-adhesion food-grade silicone suction cups grip smooth aquarium glass firmly without slipping or damaging the tank surface during extended use.
- Universal Adjustable Fit: Reinforced carbon steel fastening screw with a sliding adjustment slot lets you freely set the installation distance to match different filter outlet sizes — compatible with most standard hang-on-back filtration systems.
- Unobstructed Water Circulation: Precision-punched ABS mesh outer shell allows smooth water flow while blocking large debris, so your original filtration system keeps running at full efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the aquarium filter baffle compatible with all hang-on-back filters?
A: Yes — the adjustable carbon steel fastening screw and sliding slot allow the baffle to fit most standard hang-on-back aquarium filtration systems with filter inlets between 2 and 3 inches in diameter, suitable for fish tanks ranging from 5 to 30 gallons.

A: No. The precision-punched ABS mesh outer shell allows water to flow freely through the guard while intercepting large debris, so your filtration system continues to operate at its original efficiency without loss of water circulation.
Q: How do the suction cups attach to the tank, and will they leave marks?
A: The baffle uses soft, food-grade silicone suction cups that grip smooth aquarium glass walls securely without slipping. They are designed for long-term use and will not scratch or damage the glass surface of your fish tank.
Q: Is this baffle safe for shrimp and sensitive aquatic life?
A: Absolutely. The frame is made from food-grade, high-strength ABS plastic that is corrosion-resistant and releases no harmful substances even during prolonged water immersion, making it completely safe for betta fish, shrimp, aquatic plants, and other delicate tank inhabitants.
