FiltrationHardware Specification
Sponge Filter
A simple filter consisting of a porous sponge connected to an air pump. Sponge filters provide mechanical and biological filtration with gentle water flow, making them useful for community tanks, breeding setups, and aquariums with shrimp or fry.
Primary Biological & Physical Purpose
Offers gentle biological filtration and safety for delicate aquatic life like shrimp, fry (baby fish), and long-finned Bettas.
Operational Mechanics & Physics
An air pump pushes air down into the filter column, and as bubbles rise up, they draw water through the porous sponge block. Nitrifying bacteria colonize the sponge surface and clean the water.
Maintenance & Longevity Protocol
Squeeze out the sponge inside a bucket of siphoned tank water during your bi-weekly or monthly water change. Do not use tap water.
