🔥Description🔥
The XINYOU XY-280 sponge filter delivers reliable mechanical and biological filtration for planted tanks, community setups, and breeding systems. Built with a sturdy plastic body and a high-density sponge media, it traps debris while providing a large surface area for beneficial bacteria — helping control ammonia and nitrite naturally.
Designed for aquariums 45–75 gallons (180–280 L), the XY-280 is ideal where gentle flow and stable biological filtration are needed (breeding tanks, fry tanks, shrimp tanks with heavy bio-loads when combined with proper setup). It’s driven by a standard air pump (airline tubing + check valve recommended) or can be used with a small powerhead adapter, depending on your setup. The sponge is washable and reusable — simply rinse in tank water during maintenance to preserve beneficial bacteria.

🐦🔥Usage Instructions🐦🔥
🦞 Position the filter inside the aquarium — ideally toward the rear corner or behind décor for discreet flow.
🦞 Connect airline tubing from a suitable air pump to the filter’s airline port. Use a check valve to prevent backflow.
🦞 Adjust airflow: set pump output so bubbles create a gentle lift — avoid strong currents that disturb substrate or fry.
🦞 Maintenance: every 2–6 weeks (based on load), remove the sponge and gently rinse in a bucket of tank water during a water change. Do not use tap water or soap — this will kill beneficial bacteria.
🦞 Replacement: replace the sponge when it’s torn, permanently compressed, or no longer cleans properly after rinsing.
📒Note:📒
🛡️ Not for heavy-flow reef systems — designed for freshwater and gentle biological filtration setups.
🛡️ Do not sterilize the sponge with bleach or hot water — preserve the biofilm.
