Best breeder box I’ve ever used
I’ve raised thousands of fry in these containers and i only have one complaint. The tabs used to level the box do not fit snugly. I had to glue mine in which means i can no longer adjust. The good far outweighs the bad. Yes this makes a little noise even on the lowest setting but it works tenfold better than traditional options (which don’t flow water). Don’t waste your money on any of those hang in boxes, they will never work as good as something that circulates water like this

Wished the tube can extend longer closer to the bottom
Its big and have 3 separation. But you can only separate at certain sizes that it can take. And the little screen covers the bottom where the over flow gets out so the water will rise a little higher. You need to cut a sponge to put at the over flow if you don't want any fish to get out. and the tube for the air line gets clogged so quickly. and I which the tube can extend a little longer for larger tanks. And that it doesn't stick out from the tank too much. I think they could of shorten the distance of that tube that connects to the breeder tank. Plastic seems strong and good. But it scratches easily.

Works Well Inside or Out of Aquarium
It is a bit noisy with the lid on from the air forcing the water in. I nano sponge filter works great in it though. Very sturdy. The little gate is lost so I use some filter floss to block the fry from going for a ride.

Nice nursery for shrimp
For starters I can say this product is really nice and handy to have, I use it for my blue dream shrimp to have their babies as I have neon tetras and a Betta (who loves to eat babies, I found out the hard way) only thing I found bad is if you leave the hose attached to it for a while and let it dry (in my case) it broke so what I did to fix this problem was to brake the grill under; only the 1 center piece and poke the hose through it as you see on the video and problem solved, I have no complain about the noise as I changed the air pump and that seems to have fixed the noise problem I can hear more the air stone than anything else. The noise you hear is my A/C

Great Price for a Large Hang on Box
It came undamaged. Currently using it as refugium for my Pico reef tank. Holds about 3/4 gallon of water. I adapted a fountain pump to it. The adapter can be 3d printed found on Thingiverse Search for ISTA IF-648 I've included a picture of the fountain pump for reference.

One happy baby fish
One small baby fish happily enjoys his surroundings in the tiny breeder box. Easy attachment to the larger tank for water movement and air. Easy setup and great addon for anyone wanting to breed fish.

Very good product! I recommend. I read that someone said it very noisy and it’s only air no water gets in. Well the noise is there it’s not silent but as for the flow you may need to use a flow control(2$) to adjust it properly. For sure is you have to much air going in it’s louder and you have less water going in. Once it’s properly adjusted I believe it is a good product. I added I net to the water return because the holes were to large for my babies they could have gone back into the main tank. Love the concept I won’t use the in tank breeder boxes again. Check the video if you like.

product is very fragile and on day one itself, one part broke. I didn't replace because it was my mistake. It's very noisy too when water is pumped through the nozzle. Other than this product looks good and serve its purpose.

Great product and was what I needed but it was a .5 cm wider then description so it would not fit the size of my 10 gallon and not enough room on back for other stuff. Perfect as hob breeder box or refugium.
