Product Insights

Understanding the Bio Sponge Filter:
By connecting a sponge filter to a 3/16 inch airline from an air pump, a ceaseless flow of air bubbles rises to the surface and enters the fish tank. The dirty water gets drawn into the filter through small openings, where fine sponge material captures fish waste, decaying plant matter, and other debris. Meanwhile, bio balls offer ample surface area for a colony of beneficial bacteria to flourish, ultimately pushing clean water back out of the filter. This effective filtration system provides both mechanical and biological cleansing, ensuring that your aquarium water sparkles. Additionally, the filter's constant air bubbles agitate the water's surface.

For optimal performance, consider pairing the sponge filter with a powerhead or water pump to enhance debris removal, speeding up the cleaning process. If you find the noise from the air bubbles bothersome, using a lower-powered air pump can help reduce the sound. Remember, the suction strength is dependent on the type of air pump you choose: a smaller pump will result in weaker suction.

Key Features of the Bio Sponge Filter:
- Compact Design: Easily hidden behind rocks, driftwood, or decorations.
- Effective Filtration: Combines mechanical and biological methods to keep water clear.
- Fish-Safe: Designed so that fish won't get sucked into the filter.
- Gentle Operation: Bubbles create mild water agitation, ensuring your pets are undisturbed.
- User-Friendly: Simple installation with an airline connected to the air pump.
- Quiet Performance: Sound levels depend solely on the connected pump.
- Versatile Use: Suitable for betta tanks, shrimp tanks, quarantine tanks, or fry tanks in both freshwater and saltwater environments.

Bio Filter Media:
The bio balls' expansive surface area supports beneficial bacteria essential for breaking down ammonia and nitrates.

Maintenance Made Easy:
- Clean the sponge with aquarium water every two weeks.
- Replace the sponge using any brand, cutting it to the appropriate size.
- Clean bio balls every two months and replace one-third of them every six months.
- Always rinse ceramic balls in aquarium water, not tap water.
- Bio balls measure 1.8 cm in diameter; you can opt for the same size or smaller as replacements.

Ideal for Delicate Aquatic Life:
If you're searching for a filter that won’t engulf tiny fry or cause a significant debris load in the water, this bio filter is an excellent choice. Its gentle water flow is perfect for fragile species, including fry fish, bettas, guppies, shrimp, and tetras.

Size Options:
- Size S: 1.8” W x 5.4” H, suitable for 2-5 gallon tanks.
- Size L: 3” W x 7.3” H, suitable for 6-20 gallon tanks.

Installation Guidance:
A visual guide is available to walk you through setting up the filter step by step.

Filtration Excellence:
The hygger Bio Sponge Filter employs a two-stage filtration system to maintain a healthy aquarium environment, ensuring clean water and a harm-free habitat for your aquatic companions. The design also aerates the water through the generated bubbles, promoting circulation that benefits species favoring slower currents.

This air-driven filter requires a minimum of a 2W air pump and an airline (sold separately) and includes a convenient plastic chamber for easy access to replacement media. Available in sizes that cater to both small and larger tanks, it’s an excellent addition for any aquarium setup.
