AQUANEAT Sponge Filter for Betta Fry and Shrimp Tank

Sponge Filter: Product Description

The Sponge Filter is a versatile and efficient filtration system designed for aquarium use. It operates by utilizing the power of air bubbles generated by an external air pump or an integrated water pump to draw water through the sponge media.

How Does It Work? The sponge filter's air infusion chamber produces a steady stream of tiny bubbles that increase the oxygen solubility in the water. This air-powered mechanism draws the water through the sponge, providing both mechanical and biological filtration.

Maintenance and Replacement The sponge should be rinsed every 2 to 4 weeks to remove any accumulated debris. It is recommended to use water from the fish tank for this task, rather than tap water, to avoid disrupting the beneficial bacteria colonies. Over time, the sponge's pores will become clogged, and it is advisable to replace the sponge every 3 to 6 months for optimal performance.
