Xinyou XY-180 Super Biochemical Sponge Filter

The Xinyou XY-180 Super Biochemical Sponge Filter is an efficient aquarium filtration solution designed for optimal water purification. This cylindrical filter features a durable black sponge material that provides both mechanical and biological filtration. The filter creates a gentle flow of bubbles that helps oxygenate the water while removing debris and harmful substances. The biochemical sponge material offers an ideal surface for beneficial bacteria colonization, which is essential for maintaining a healthy aquarium ecosystem. As water passes through the sponge, it traps particles while allowing helpful bacteria to break down harmful ammonia and nitrites. This filter is particularly suitable for bettas and other fish that prefer gentle water movement, as demonstrated in the product image with a red betta fish. The adjustable air flow allows you to control the filtration intensity according to your aquarium's needs. Easy to install and maintain, the XY-180 simply requires connection to an air pump (sold separately) to begin operation. The sponge can be easily cleaned by gently squeezing it in aquarium water during regular maintenance, ensuring long-lasting performance while preserving the beneficial bacterial colony.
