## Overview

The Xelparuc Biochemical Sponge Betta Filter is a compact, noiseless filtration system designed for tanks up to 10.5 gallons. Its large porous sponge fosters beneficial nitrifying bacteria, delivering superior biological filtration while maintaining gentle water flow ideal for fry and small fish. Easy to install with an air pump, it traps debris efficiently and is reusable with simple maintenance, making it a must-have for any serious aquarium enthusiast aiming for a healthy, crystal-clear aquatic environment.

## Description

This cotton biochemical sponge filter will effectively and efficiently clean up to 10.5 gallon tank. If you own a larger tank you can purchase two or more of these sponge filters and place on different sides of the tank. You can easily hide these filters behind plants and other underwater décor. We recommend the air pump method as it is much easier for beginner aquarium keepers to set up. Simply attach some airline tubing and an air pump to the filter cylinder. The air pump is noiseless and won’t disturb your fish. It can be used in a “hospital tank”, breeding or rearing tank, or as a tank for fish who prefer a slower current flow such as Betta or Discus. Even if you already have another filter in your tank, you can use the sponge filter at the same time to achieve optimal filtration for your tropical fish tank. Your best results will be achieved by placing the sponge filter on one side and the hang-on power filter, or any other filter, on the opposite side. The air pump with the sponge filter will actually outperform many power filters and it provides superior vertical circulation. It is recommended to “seed” the sponge first. To seed the sponge at an accelerated rate, take the sponge media and move it around the gravel or substrate. This is where nitrifying bacteria is found in high numbers and will colonize on the pores, creating optimal health for your fish and plant life. Recommendation: Replace the biochemical cotton every 6 months to ensure proper filtration, and colonization of nitrifying bacteria. Steps to Use: 1. First of all, insert the plastic tube in the airline tubing (sold separately). 2. Insert one end of the airline tubing into the sponge filter. 3. Insert the other end of the airline tubing to the air pump. Now your little device is ready to work.

## Features

- 🐡【Improve Water Quality】 The sponge filter’s pores have a large surface area where aerobic bacteria can propagate. Cultivating the nitrifying bacteria, will give you superior biological filtration in your tank.
- 🐟【No Noise & Energy Saving】 The biochemical cotton filter is noiseless. Only requiring an air pump and airline tubing (sold separately) to work. These create numerous minute bubbles for increased oxygen flow.
- 🐠【Safe】 Betta, fry and other small fish will NEVER get sucked up into the filter. The slow current from this filter is ideal when breeding and spawning discus, dwarf cichlids, guppies, and killifish.
- 🐢【Fine Filtration】 As the water passes through the pores, the sponge will trap debris from your tank, leaving the water crystal clear. It is very efficient and will break down toxic waste from the tank.
- 🦀【Easy to Wash & Reuse】 The sponge can be used multiple times. Instead of tap water, use water from the tank, to clean it, when doing water change. Simply rinse and squeeze a few times over until you see the water run clear from the sponge.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do you start it ?**
A: It’s very simple. You fit the sponge onto the black bit which has ridges. The little plastic pipe fits onto the black base. But first put the end of the Long plastic  flexible tubing through the short clear plastic pipe . Then fit the short pipe onto the little knob at the top of the filter.. plug in and it works easily. 
Hope that makes sense. 🤗
There should be instructions included . 
Make sure the air plastic tubing hangs below the socket so that water doesn’t drip towards the electric point.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You need a pump
*by L***4 on 29 December 2019*

Works well

### ⭐ Waste of money
*by S***S on 13 September 2019*

Not buy its don't do any think it didn't have any way for it to work it was just an sponge with a tube sticking out...... Waste of money

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Forever blowing bubbles....
*by D***N on 8 July 2020*

The media could not be loaded. Very simple to use, attaches on the end of the pipe where usually you would use a air stone. Doesnt provide as many bubbles as a normal air stone but the built in sponge/filter does take in waste, not a great amount (you will probably still need a seperate filter). Noise level will depend on the pump you are using to power your air stone but in my set up the sound of the bubbles drowns out other noises.
