Key Features & Maintenance

• Dual Filtration: The dense biochemical sponge physically traps fish waste, floating debris, and uneaten food, while the high surface area allows beneficial nitrifying bacteria to colonise and break down toxic ammonia and nitrites.

• Air-Operated Requirement: This filter is driven by an airlift system. You will need an external air pump and airline tubing to run it, as these accessories are typically not included.

• Safe and Gentle: Delivers vital oxygenation and water movement without creating harsh currents that can stress weak swimmers like Bettas.

• Easy Maintenance: To clean, simply detach the sponge and gently squeeze it out into a bucket of used aquarium water. Avoid rinsing it under chlorinated tap water, as this will kill off the beneficial bacterial colony
