~Z) XY-180 Sponge Filter

Description
The XY-180 Sponge Filter is a reliable, air-driven filtration system designed for aquariums, breeding tanks, and fry grow-out setups. It combines mechanical filtration (trapping debris) with biological filtration (housing beneficial bacteria), making it an excellent low-flow solution for delicate fish and shrimp.

Powered by an air pump, the filter creates a gentle flow that keeps water clean without stressing fry or small species. Its dual-sponge design increases surface area, allowing for better filtration efficiency and stable biological activity.

Key Features

• Gentle Water Flow: Ideal for fry, shrimp, and slow-swimming fish

• Biological Filtration: Supports growth of beneficial bacteria for a healthy ecosystem

• Air-Driven Operation: Energy-efficient and safe (no electrical parts inside water)

• Easy Maintenance: Sponges can be rinsed and reused without replacing frequently

Ideal For

• Breeding tanks

• Fry and juvenile fish tanks

• Shrimp aquariums

• Quarantine or hospital tanks

How It Works
Air from an external pump is pushed through the uplift tube, creating suction that pulls water through the sponge. Debris gets trapped in the sponge, while beneficial bacteria break down harmful waste like ammonia and nitrites.

Note: Requires an air pump and airline tubing (sold separately). Clean the sponge using tank water (not tap water) to preserve beneficial bacteria.
