🐠 XY-2831 Air Pump Sponge Filter for 10-Gallon Aquarium Tank: Efficient Filtration and Aeration Review

I heard they are good for making good bacteria in your aquarium so I bought one. They are so cheap compared to some other filters. They are well suited for aquariums with small juvenile fish, caviar and bettas so that they are not sucked in by the filter. You'll need additional items to make this work, an air pump and an air hose, then you've come to the right place. When you clean it, just clean one sponge and clean the other after a month or a few weeks so you don't exhaust the good bacteria…

I have this filter in my 10 gallon betta and snail tank. Good.1. It doesn't create much water flow/current which is perfect for my fish.2. The suction power is strong enough to pick up dirt and pieces of food that pass nearby.3. Easy to install/configure.4. Bubbles look cute.Bad.1. Not that easy to clean: you can only wash one sponge at a time in the aquarium water so as not to disturb the growth of beneficial bacteria.

I love these little sponge filters! They are cheap and effective, safe for juvenile fish and better for bacterial colonies than the more popular high performance filters. I strongly believe that the only reason they are not becoming more widely available is that there is no money to sell them and so they are not widely promoted as an option. To be honest, they have two downsides. : noise and appearance. An air pump is required for operation, and the vibration of the air pump, although silent…

Can't really say anything bad about it for the price. It looks just like the picture and works exactly as I expected. This is my first sponge filter and I put it in a 2.5 gallon aquarium. This gives you an idea of how compact it is. It's obviously ugly, but these types of filters are designed so that form follows function and I really like the way they look. If you appreciate something that has exactly the shape it needs to have in order to do what it's supposed to do, you can even say it's…
