🔥Description🔥
The XINYOU XY-180 is an easy-to-use sponge filter that delivers both mechanical and biological filtration — trapping debris while providing surface area for beneficial bacteria. Built from durable plastic and high-density sponge, the XY-180 is washable and reusable, making it economical for long-term aquarium care. It’s air-driven (requires an air pump & airline tubing — sold separately) and operates quietly while also adding mild water circulation and oxygenation to the aquarium.
Because online listings vary by region and stock, sellers show slightly different recommended tank capacities for this model; typical guidance ranges from small nano tanks up to medium small tanks (roughly 30–100 L), depending on stocking, flow, and whether you use one or multiple sponge filters. Always match filter choice to your tank’s stocking level and chosen air pump capacity.

🐦🔥Usage Instructions🐦🔥
- Assemble/inspect: Remove packaging, check sponge & uplift tube for damage.
- Position: Place the sponge filter upright inside the aquarium on a flat substrate area or behind décor.
- Connect airline: Attach airline tubing from an external air pump to the uplift tube. Add a check valve near the pump for safety (prevents back-siphonage).
- Adjust flow: Use an air control valve or change pump power to adjust bubble rate and flow through the sponge.
- Maintenance: Every 2–4 weeks (or when visibly clogged), gently remove the sponge and rinse it in a bucket of tank water — avoid tap water or aggressive wringing to preserve beneficial bacteria.
- Replacement: Replace the sponge when it becomes irreversibly worn, torn, or permanently compressed.
📒Note:📒
- Air pump required (sold separately): choose an air pump appropriate to the tank size — stronger pumps support multiple sponge filters.
- Do not use soap when cleaning the sponge (it kills beneficial bacteria).
- For breeding/hospital tanks, sponge filters are ideal — gentle flow and biological stability.
