Key Features:
Authentic Sicce Quality: Engineered specifically for the AQUA FILTRA 40 filter, ensuring a seamless fit and maximum filtration efficiency.
Dual-Stage Filtration Power: The 20 PPI porous structure excels at both mechanical and biological filtration. It traps debris and waste while providing a massive surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonize.
Promotes a Healthy Ecosystem: A thriving colony of nitrifying bacteria on the sponge is vital for converting toxic ammonia and nitrite into less harmful nitrate, creating a stable and safe environment for your fish and plants.
Durable and Long-Lasting: Made from high-density, aquarium-safe foam that resists clogging and degradation, delivering reliable performance and extending the time between replacements.
Value 4-Pack: This convenient pack provides four replacement sponges, ensuring you are always prepared for routine maintenance and can keep your aquarium water pristine for months to come.
Installation and Maintenance
For optimal results, it is recommended to replace the sponge every 4-6 weeks, or when you notice a significant reduction in water flow.
Pro-Tip: To preserve the beneficial bacteria colony, never rinse your new or existing sponge with untreated tap water.
Always unplug the AQUA FILTRA 40 filter from the power source before maintenance.
Remove the filter lid and lift out the media basket.
Dispose of the old sponge.
Rinse the new sponge in a bucket of aquarium water to remove any dust from packaging. This also helps to "seed" the new sponge with existing bacteria.
Insert the new sponge firmly into its designated slot in the media basket.
Place the basket back into the filter, replace the lid, and plug the filter back in. The submerged pump will ensure a quick, self-priming restart.
