Aquatop Sponge Filter for up to 10 Gallons
The Aquatop Sponge Filter is an air-driven foam filter designed to deliver efficient mechanical and biological filtration for aquariums up to 10 gallons. Its porous sponge media provides a large surface area for beneficial bacteria, helping convert harmful ammonia and nitrite into safer nitrate while keeping your water clean and clear.
Powered by a standard aquarium air pump, the Aquatop Sponge Filter creates gentle water movement that is safe for shrimp, baby fish (fry), bettas, and other delicate aquarium inhabitants. The sponge captures debris while maintaining strong, stable biological filtration.
