Xinyou Super Biochemical Sponge Filter For Aquarium Fish Tank XY-280 By Juwel Aquarium

The Xinyou XY-280 stands out as a versatile filtration solution for enthusiasts who prioritize water quality and biological stability. By utilizing an air-driven system, it oxygenates the water while keeping it crystal clear.

Key Features:

• Superior Biological Filtration: The high-density, multi-layered sponge provides a massive surface area for nitrifying bacteria to thrive, which helps break down harmful ammonia and nitrites.

• Gentle Mechanical Cleaning: Effectively traps floating particles and waste without creating strong currents, making it perfect for sensitive fish like Discus, Betta, or young fry.

• Quiet Operation: When connected to an air pump, the filter operates with minimal noise, creating a peaceful environment for both the user and the fish.

• Easy Maintenance: The sponge is easy to remove and clean. Simply rinse it in aquarium water (never tap water) to preserve the bacterial colonies.

• Weighted Base: Features a heavy plastic base that keeps the filter firmly at the bottom of the tank without the need for extra suction cups.

Usage Instructions:
