Filtering and Purifying
hygger aquarium biochemical sponge filter is powered by an air pump that uses the water-lifting effect generated by rising bubbles and drives water flow through the filter sponge, which can effectively adsorb excreta and residual bait to achieve the purpose of filtering and purifying water quality for saltwater and freshwater aquariums.
Key Features of the Bubbler
① Oxygenation: An integrated plastic airstone delivers ample bubbles and a gentle water flow to provide oxygenation.
② Filtration: The dense biochemical cotton in the upper layer effectively absorbs impurities, pet waste, and debris. The circular concave design expands the filtration area, enhancing filtration efficiency.
③ Cultivation: The bottom chamber features bio-ceramic media, which promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria essential for aquarium health.
Ideal for Small to Medium-Sized Aquariums
This air-driven biochemical filter, measuring 2.9 inches in width and 3.7/5.5 inches in height, is ideally suited for 1 to 20-gallon tanks with a depth of less than 12″/15″. It is also ideal for low-flow applications, such as breeding and housing bettas, snails, shrimp, and more.
Maintenance and Filter Replacement
All the aquarium biochemical filter parts are designed to be easily detachable, facilitating assembly and disassembly. The filter comes with two reusable sponges. It is recommended to clean the filter assembly with tank water every 2 to 4 weeks or whenever bubble production noticeably reduces. This routine cleaning ensures the filter’s ongoing efficiency.
Three Sizes for Choice
Small: 7.3cmW x 11.2cmH, it works pretty well filtration for 5-91L small aquariums with under 40cm depth.
Medium: 7.3cmW x 16.5cmH, suggested for 91-250L medium-sized aquariums with under 50cm depth.
Large: 10cmW x 17.7cmH, suggested for 250-568L aquariums with under 67cm depth.
Usage Tips
- Take the spare sponge off the filter after out of the box.
- Keep a sponge to restore its fluffiness and install fixing buckles.
- Wash the filter to remove the dust before put in aquariums.
- Connect the air pump and air tube (4mm) to the filter.
- Squeeze the sponge until it is full of water making it sink into the bottom of the tank.
Note:
1. Before using the filter, rinse it thoroughly to remove any dust.
2. The bio-sponge filter must be connected to an air pump (the pump and air hose are not included with the filter).
3. Due to the two sponges being squished up together, Please take it apart and loosen the sponge to restore its normal shape.

This sponge filter works well. I love the extra media, and I was going to love the built in air stone. The bubbles are larger than I like for my tanks, honestly doesn’t even seem like there’s an air stone in there. I’ll probably just add one. Also it floats a lot when you first put it in. The picture of it floating is after it had been running in the tank for a full day. I’ve had to squeeze the air out of it 4 times, it’s only the second day so I might have to more idk. We will see. I have had better sponge filters, but I’ll give this one a chance. Cleans the tank up well
I absolutely love this filtration. It works great, size is great, filters great, the way it was built is just great! It eliminates a crowded looking tank. It’s super easy to set up, easy to use. Cleaning this thing is super easy as well. 100% recommend! Only thing is you may need to buy your own air pump, I can’t remember clearly if it did or not come with one. Other than that this thing is phenomenal! 😄😁
