The Aqua Nova Sponge Filter is a compact airlift filter, ideal for nano tanks, shrimp aquariums, and breeding setups. It offers effective mechanical and biological filtration, quiet, safe, and energy-free. Water is gently drawn through the fine-pore sponge using an external air pump (not included). This process traps debris and supports the growth of beneficial bacteria that break down harmful ammonia and nitrite. The result: clean, healthy water for shrimp, fry, and other delicate species. The filter is easy to install using the included suction cup and is built to last. Cleaning is quick and simple.
