AQUANEAT Sponge Filter for Betta Fry and Shrimp Tank, with Ceramic Media and 2 Spare Sponges

Product Description: Sponge Filter

How It Works

The sponge filter operates by drawing water through the sponge using bubbles of air that are generated either from an external air pump or an integrated water pump. This process ensures effective filtration while promoting a healthier aquatic environment.

Maintenance Requirements

Maintaining your sponge filter is straightforward. It is recommended to rinse the sponge every 2 to 4 weeks. For best results, use water from the fish tank for rinsing rather than tap water, as this will help preserve beneficial bacteria. Additionally, after 3 to 6 months of use, it's advisable to replace the sponge. Over time, the sponge's pores can become clogged with fine debris, reducing its efficiency.

Key Features

• Filtration Types: The sponge filter offers both mechanical and biological filtration, ensuring cleaner water.
• User-friendly Setup: It is easy to install and maintain.
• Fish-safe Operation: The filter creates minimal current, making it safe for fish.
• Included Items: Each package includes one sponge filter, a bag of ceramic media balls, and two spare sponges, all conveniently packed in two containers.

Design and Dimensions

The sponge measures 1.75 inches in diameter and 2.5 inches in height, featuring a double sponge design. The air chamber produces fine bubbles, enhancing the oxygen solubility in the water. Note that the air pump is sold separately.

Cleaning Instructions

To maintain the sponge's effectiveness, clean it with aquarium water. Gently rinse and squeeze the sponge to remove any accumulated debris, ensuring that the beneficial bacteria remain intact.
