Sponge filters offer reliability and hassle-free operation. With no moving parts, all you need is an air pump with some airline tubing, and you've got a filter that is fully contained within your aquarium. Sponge filters are completely reusable, don't need any replacement cartridges, and last for several years. Plus, they are gentle enough for betta fish, baby fry, shrimp, and other slow-moving species. Trusted by fish farms and wholesalers, they are an excellent choice for aquarium filtration that you can set and forget.

Adjust the height of the Easy Flow curved tube so that the opening is 1/3 out of the water and 2/3 in the water. If you have a shorter tank (like a 10 gallon or a 20 long), please see the sizing chart below. Shallower tanks may require trimming of the Easy Flow uplift tube.
Additional Supplies Needed
The sponge filter does not produce air on its own, so you also need to buy the following components to run the sponge filter:
— Air pump
— Airline tubing
— Check valve (to prevent water from pouring out of the tank when the power is off)
Pore Size: 40 ppi (different manufacturers rate porosity slightly different as it's an approximation)
Cleaning Instructions:
1. Use a fish bag, ziplock bag, or pitcher to put around the sponge while inside of the aquarium.
2. Lift the water and sponge out to catch the majority of debris that will come off while removing.
3. Remove the foam from the plastic basket. Use the aquarium water and squeeze out the debris from the sponge.
4. Discard the water and get more water from the aquarium.
5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 until sponge filter is mostly free of debris.
6. Scrub the air collar as well to clear out any debris or algae that has covered the holes.
7. Reassemble the sponge filter, and install it back in the aquarium

Adjustable Height for Different Tank Sizes
The Easy Flow curved uplift tube has an adjustable height, allowing you to use it for both small and big tanks. Use our sizing chart to find the perfect sponge filter for your aquarium. Ideally, the tube opening should sit 1/3 out of the water and 2/3 in the water.

No Air Stone Needed
Our air collar replaces the need for an air stone. Uniform bubbles with the airline tubing on the outside delivers better even flow, which increases the flow rate and reduces noise. No more glug, glug, glug sound. Use a small pipe brush or toothbrush to clean the collar during monthly maintenance.
4
Extra Heavy Base
Our extra heavy weighted base helps the sponge filter sinks right away. Give the sponge a squeeze when you put it in the water to remove any extra air. The heavy base also helps it stay in place when fish might try and move it.

Cleaning Is Easy
We recommend cleaning your sponge filter once a month. Removing the debris from the sponge ensures it won't clog up unexpectedly. While our sponge filters can often go many months between service, it's a best practice to service monthly. Also, clean the air collar with a small pipe brush or toothbrush to remove any debris buildup.
Bonus Tip: Pour the brown water on your houseplants to make them very happy.
