will this filter work as a prefilter for aqua clear 110?

Seems like it will but I would go with something a little more coarse. Something to fine might clog rather quickly making maintenance frequent.

It is difficult to judge from a photo, the density of most small sponge pre-filters for sale but almost all of them will work. At that price, it is hard to go wrong...even if you need to rinse them a little more frequently. Here's a tip...when removing a dirty per-filter sponge from your aquaclear, slide a net under and around the sponge before removing. Slide off the sponge and the debris on the surface of the sponge will stay in the net and not drop back into the tank.

That's a great idea! Even a "The Bag" media bag by SeaChem to capture as much detritus as possible.
