Aqua one Air Sponge Filter 60
The Filter Air Sponge Filter is a simple system, that can be operated with either an air pump or water pump (sold separately), and is perfect for use with fry in breeding set ups. The weighted base means installation is very easy, and there is a hollow centre in the middle of the sponge to allow the addition of carbon if required (sold separately).
The sponge allows for the trapping of dirt particles within the aquarium, but also provides a great breeding ground for bacteria, ensuring your water quality is left at its’ very best. The dual mechanical and biological filtration is a great combination, and chemical filtration can be included with the addition of carbon into the centre.
Available in three sizes, the Filter Air is a basic filtration system, and you just need to replace the sponge every few months depending on usage.

David Dyer –
Great for fry breeding. The sponge stays in place easily and keeps water clean. I used it with an air pump and noticed a big improvement in water clarity after a week.
Lisa McDonald –
Works well with small tanks. The filter is simple to install and maintains good water quality. I added carbon once and the water smells better now.
William Reid –
Perfect for beginners. The sponge traps debris well and supports beneficial bacteria. I didn’t have to change it for three months, which is great.
Trevor Pullman –
It works but the sponge gets clogged faster than expected. I had to clean it every two weeks. Still effective for small fry tanks.
