As we all know, cloudy tank is common due to tank tiny creatures recycle. Healthy tank tiny creatures recycle will make the aquarium water more clear and in good quality, which in turns to make your little fish, shrimp and other aquarium pets live a healthy and happy life.

This bio sponge filter will help beneficial nitrifying tiny creatures to live and grow. Which in turns to break ammonia down to nitrites and nitrites down to nitrates. The aquarium filter working isn’t something that is really visible.

Bio ceramic midea balls

Media balls provide a surface for bioload where helpful tiny creatures can live quickly. The filter package includes a small bag of ceramic midea balls. 0.25lbs for small size, 0.27lbs for medium size.

You can also replace this ceramic media with other medias like carbon, ammonia absorbers, etc…everything you can do to keep your water sparkling clean is a benefit to your aquatic pets and plants.

Suggest to replace the ceramic media balls every 6 months or when you find its water permeability truns poor. It’s very easy to buy more ceramic media balls on amazon.

60ppi Fine sponges- home for nitro tiny creatures

The sponge we used is very fine, with ultra strong water absorption, will give much more surface area for beneficial tiny creatures to live on. Nitro tiny creatures must be attached to a fixed surface to form a biological layer before nitrogen cycle can take place.

2 spare sponges

The package includes 2 spare sponges. Please note when you take them out of containers, they may look badly packed and out of shape, don’t worry, just put them aside, the sponges will gradually get back to they original shape, or you can submerge them in water to help that.

How long should I replace the sponge?

Replace the sponge once every three to six month or when the sponge gets worn out. It’s better to replace them 1 by 1, interval could be 2 week or more.
