Aquarium Electric Sponge Filter with Pump

Sponge Filter: A Versatile Filtration Solution

The sponge filter is a popular choice for aquarium enthusiasts, offering a combination of mechanical and biological filtration. This filter utilizes bubbles of air from an external air pump or an integrated water pump to draw water through the sponge material.

To maintain the filter's efficiency, the sponge should be rinsed every 2 to 4 weeks. It's recommended to use water from the fish tank instead of tap water to gently wash the sponge, as this helps preserve the beneficial bacteria that have established within the filter.

Over time, the sponge's pores can become clogged with debris, necessitating a replacement every 3 to 6 months. This ensures the filter continues to provide optimal filtration for your aquarium.

Aquarium Electric Sponge Filter

The electric sponge filter offers a convenient and effective filtration solution. Featuring a 10-layer ribbing shape sponge design, this filter combines bio-filtration, oxygenation, and physical filtration in a single unit. The powerful motor eliminates the need for a separate air pump, making installation and operation a breeze.

The water outlet of the electric sponge filter is 360° rotatable, allowing you to direct the flow of water either above or below the water surface, depending on your aquarium's requirements. This versatility ensures the filter can be customized to suit the specific needs of your aquatic environment.

Included with the electric sponge filter are both sponge and ceramic ball media. The spare sponge is conveniently stored within the ceramic media box, ready for easy replacement when needed. Before placing the sponge in the aquarium, it's recommended to wash it with water from the fish tank or clean water to remove any residual manufacturing materials.

Two Size Options

The electric sponge filter is available in two size options to accommodate different aquarium sizes. The Size S filter measures 1.75" in diameter and 4.5" in height, while the Size L filter is 2.4" in diameter and 4.5" in height. Both models feature a powerful motor and provide efficient filtration without the need for a separate air pump.

Versatile Media Options

The electric sponge filter comes with two media containers, each filled with ceramic balls. This allows you to customize the filtration media to suit your aquarium's specific needs. If desired, you can replace the ceramic balls with alternative media, giving you the flexibility to optimize the filter's performance.

Recommended Tank Size

The electric sponge filter is recommended for aquariums up to 55 gallons in size. The larger Size L model, with its 2.4" diameter sponge, is suitable for this tank size, ensuring effective filtration and water circulation throughout the aquarium.

In summary, the sponge filter and its electric counterpart offer a convenient and versatile filtration solution for aquarium enthusiasts. With their ability to provide both mechanical and biological filtration, as well as oxygenation, these filters contribute to the overall health and well-being of your aquatic ecosystem.
