🐠 XY-2822 Sponge Filter – Air-Driven Internal Bio Sponge Filter
The XY-2822 Sponge Filter is an air-powered bio filter designed for small to medium aquariums, providing efficient mechanical and biological filtration with its dual sponge system.
This design significantly increases the surface area for beneficial bacteria growth, helping maintain a stable biological balance and clean water conditions.
It is especially suitable for:
- breeding tanks
- shrimp tanks
- fry tanks
- quarantine tanks
- delicate ornamental fish
The filter operates using an air pump (not included), creating a gentle water flow that filters debris and enhances oxygenation without stressing fish.
