With an airlift system, super biochemical sponge filter features silent operation and has an excellent filtering effect while oxygenating the water. The specially developed foam materials support the colonization of bacteria, allowing for mechanical and biological filtration, which will break down harmful ammonia and nitrite material resulting in a cleaner living environment for your fish. Particularly useful as a breeding filter or as a secondary filter. It will reduce noise from the air pump and consumes low wattage. Most fit external or top filters as a pre-filtration unit. No dead spots in cylinder foam offering full filtration.
Features: For freshwater and saltwater aquariums Install with either an air pump or a powerhead Provides reliable filtration in fry aquariums and quarantine systems Add extra biological filtration in heavily stocked aquariums Models designed for virtually any size system

I've had one of these sponges going for a year now. It works so well I just bought this second one. It has a fine porosity which stops half the stuff from falling away from the sponge when you pull it out for maintenance. That's fine for smaller sizes you can slip into a bag, but this big boy is keeping my 125 planted tank stable. I want a second one for my 180.
I have most of my fish room on sponges with a linear piston pump now. Even though I keep an FX6 on the 180, I believe in a backup method and this sponge is the answer. I was able to pull the canister off my 125 and conserve electricity while reducing maintenance.
The material holds up nicely and doesn't tear when squeezed. I love pulling the muck out with this guy (Barbs are little piggies) and pour the dirty water into my house plants. The weighted base stops it from floating up.

Perfect for my 5.5 gallon betta tank. This replaced an Imagitarium Mini Sponge Filter. That thing kept coming loose and floating all over the tank and drove me and my poor betta nuts. Love this filter. I put it in. It stays put. It works. That is all!

Quality sponge filter

Perfect little filters for my fry tanks.
Justin A.5/5Verified
These are wonderful for hiding behind a plant in a nano tank, and the gravel in the bottom is perfect for weighing it down, and kinda acts like media in one of the old school box filters! For the price, it's pretty great, for a small sponge filter!
Amanda H.5/5Verified
I’m very satisfied so far with the products I’ve received!
Chad W.5/5Verified

Little bigger than expected but works amazing and with a little trimming you can ad an air stone to the middle
Austen H.5/5Verified
Super easy to set up! Verry quiet for sponge filter! Does not take up a lot of space and hid easy with a few plants ( I have 20 gal. Long with two aqueon 10 internal filters and sponge filter for up to 25 gal ), thanks kgtropicals for your helpful videos and this wonderful sponge filter! My clown pleco, 9 ruby cloud mountain minnows and 4 plattys thank you!

Replaced a 75 gal foam filter with two of these 60s in my 55 gallon tank. Cleared up the cloudy water within 24 hrs. I clean one filter, then 3-4 days later the other. I have 4 fancy goldfish+ couple other small types. 2 Thumbs up! 👍👍
PS- old filter had “ears” to be lined up to put on and off at cleaning. These do also, but a lot easier to deal with
