This bio sponge filter is the optimal water filtration system for aquariums and ensures proper oxygenation for a clear and healthy aquarium. It also provides both mechanical and biological filtration and comes with detachable parts which are easy to install and use.

The filter can be used in both fresh and salt water tanks.
