Product Overview
Brand NEW !!! Color: Black Material: sponge Size: Specifications: 11x12x12cm Features: > Offering both mechanical and biological filtration, this system is effortlessly set up by connecting an airline. It serves dual purposes by providing aeration and filtration for your fish tank. The sponge fosters the growth of aerobic bacteria, contributing to the nitrogen cycle. Additionally, the sponge acts as a mechanical filter, capturing larger waste particles and effectively cleansing the water without the risk of trapping fry or baby fish. > A sponge filter utilizes air bubbles generated by an external air pump or an integral water pump to pull water through the sponge. As water is drawn out through the lift tube or pump, it is replaced by water entering the sponge. > The sponge acts as a mechanical filter, with the surface of the bubbles or pockets in the sponge providing a habitat for the bacteria of a biological filter. These bacteria play a crucial role in breaking down harmful waste substances like ammonia and nitrite. Thus, sponge filters offer both mechanical and biological filtration. > Regular rinsing of the sponge is necessary, typically every 2 to 4 weeks when it becomes dirty. To preserve the beneficial bacteria, it's recommended to wash the sponge gently with water from the fish tank rather than tap water.
