Xinyou XY-280 Sponge Filter

The Xinyou XY-280 Sponge Filter is a simple, reliable, and budget-friendly filter designed for small aquariums and breeding tanks. It uses air-driven filtration, providing gentle water flow that is safe for fry, shrimp, and delicate fish.

🌊 Key Features

✅ Dual filtration – Mechanical (sponge traps debris) + Biological (beneficial bacteria grow on sponge).
✅ Air-driven design – Works with an air pump; no electricity in the tank, making it safe and energy-efficient.
✅ Gentle water flow – Perfect for Betta fish, fry, and shrimp where strong currents can be harmful.
✅ Highly oxygenates water – The rising bubbles from the sponge improve oxygen exchange.
✅ Easy to install & maintain – Just connect to an air pump and place inside the aquarium.
✅ Long-lasting & durable – Sponge can be reused many times with proper cleaning.
