Aquapapa Bio Sponge Filter for Betta Fry Aquarium Fish Tank Up to 60 Gal ea. 3-Pack (L)

This really helps keep the aquariums clean. I run 2 in my 60 gallon. Didnt think much about them after seeing them at a local fish store. But that store runs them in all their tanks and those were clean so I decided to try them. The last awhile too. I take them apart every other week to rinse them. Had one plug up after using for a year but the price is cheap enough that getting a replacement isnt a big deal.

Great for filtering tanks. Just hook up a air line, stick it in and let it cycle. I like to keep these on hand for new tanks and even have some in a fish bait tank that keeps minnows alive. These filters last forever and work so much (IMO) better than most of the hang on back filters that are available.

FLOATS!!

These sponges taco the larger debris in the tank and easy to clean easy to replace income but over and over water clarity is very good

These things float

I did not realize how much this would improve my water quality. I have a medium sized one of these in my tank but switched it out with this and the water is so much cleaner.

One of the simplest, economical, and most effective filtration methods for keeping fish alive, with regular water changes with clean water of course. For those that are new to the hobby of fish keeping please look up the ammonia - nitrite - nitrate cycle. This filter only works after the bacteria’s form huge colonies on the sponge. It’s the bacteria that consume the fish waste and convert it into non-deadly (in small amounts) nitrate that you remove with water changes. Until then, it’s just a sponge. If you remove your old filter and replace with this one out of the box you’re killing your fish. Not the filter, YOU! Run this filter along side your old filter for a minimum of two weeks, MINIMUM, before removing the old filter. Consider adding Cycle (Fluval) or Stability (Seachem) to boost the bacterial growth. Clear water is wonderful, but what kills your fish is invisible to humans… Ammonia + Nitrite + Cycled Sponge Filter = Nitrate. Nitrate + Human + Water Changes = Happy Fish. This filter works perfectly once established. In fact, I always have an extra one cycling just in case I need it. Never know when a fish is going to get sick and need a quick set-up hospital tank. If you’re thinking about aquariums, this is the foundational aquarium filer everybody uses. Because it’s cheap and it works!

Cleans well with this filter

good good good

Medium density, perfect for shrimp. To tight for them to get caught in. Does an excellent cleaning job. Only filter in my 40 gal tank. Water stays crystal clear.
