AQUANEAT Double Bio Sponge Filter for Fry, Betta, Shrimp, Nano Aquariums (Large up to 55 Gal)

Product Description: Sponge Filter

How It Operates
The sponge filter functions by utilizing an external air pump or an integrated water pump to generate air bubbles. These bubbles facilitate the movement of water through the sponge, promoting effective filtration.

Maintenance Requirements
To maintain optimal performance, it is recommended to rinse the sponge every 2 to 4 weeks. For best results, gently clean the sponge with water from your fish tank rather than using tap water, as tank water helps preserve beneficial bacteria. Additionally, it's advisable to replace the sponge every 3 to 6 months, as the sponge's pores can become clogged with fine debris over time.
