Sponge filters work by drawing aquarium water through the porous sponge. This provides mechanical filtration by trapping physical debris, and with its large porous surface area provides a home for beneficial, nitrifying bacteria, which break down biological waste into less toxic elements.
Sponge Filters are great for:
• Fry tanks
• Betta bowls
• Shrimp tanks
• Hospital/Quarantine tanks
• New aquarium start up
• Pre-filter for canisters
