Product Description
In compact aquarium systems, the filter sponge is the heart of the life support system. The Sicce AQUA FILTRA 10-20 Replacement Sponges are engineered to provide powerful two-stage filtration in a small footprint, keeping your nano tank or small aquarium pristine.
Mechanical Filtration: As the first point of contact, the sponge's dense network of pores acts as a barrier, trapping floating particles like fish waste, uneaten food, and micro-debris. This keeps the water column clear and prevents sludge from accumulating in your filter and aquarium.
Biological Filtration: The true value of this sponge is its role as a biological filter medium. Its complex internal surface becomes an ideal home for the nitrifying bacteria that are essential for a stable aquarium. These invisible allies work tirelessly to process toxic ammonia and nitrite, converting them into less harmful substances and ensuring a safe environment for your inhabitants.
Regular replacement of the sponge is key to preventing clogs and maintaining optimal water quality and flow in your AQUA FILTRA internal filter.
Instructions for Use & Replacement
For best performance, we recommend replacing the sponge every 4-6 weeks, or if you notice a significant decrease in water flow.
Pro-Tip: To protect the beneficial bacteria colony, never wash or rinse your filter sponge with untreated tap water, as chlorine and chloramines are harmful to them.
- Unplug the AQUA FILTRA filter before performing maintenance.
- Remove the filter from the aquarium and open the media chamber.
- Remove the old, clogged sponge.
- Take the new replacement sponge and give it a quick squeeze and rinse in a small amount of water removed from your aquarium.
- Insert the new sponge into the chamber, ensuring it is seated correctly.
- Reassemble the filter and place it back in the aquarium before plugging it in.
