XINYOU XY-180 Sponge Filter

The XINYOU XY-180 Sponge Filter is a reliable and budget-friendly filtration option designed for small to medium aquariums. It provides efficient biological and mechanical filtration while producing gentle water flow, making it especially suitable for shrimp, fry, and small fish tanks.

🌊 Key Features

✅ Air-driven filtration – Works with an air pump (not included) to create water circulation and oxygenation.

✅ Dual filtration system – Sponge captures debris (mechanical) while providing surface area for beneficial bacteria (biological).

✅ Gentle water flow – Safe for delicate fish, fry, and shrimp without risk of sucking them in.

✅ Easy to clean – Sponges can be rinsed and reused multiple times.

✅ Durable & economical – Long-lasting sponge material; very low running cost.

✅ Can be used alone or with other filters – Works as the main filter in small tanks or as a secondary filter in larger aquariums.
