XINYOU XY-2880 Sponge Filter

The XINYOU XY-2880 Sponge Filter is a powerful double-sponge, air-driven filter designed for medium to large aquariums. It provides mechanical and biological filtration while producing gentle water circulation, making it especially suitable for shrimp tanks, fry tanks, and community aquariums.

🌊 Key Features

✅ Dual sponge design – Offers a large surface area for beneficial bacteria colonization and efficient filtration.

✅ Air-driven system – Works with an external air pump (not included) to create bubbles that aerate and circulate water.

✅ Safe for fry & shrimp – Gentle suction prevents small fish and shrimp from being trapped.

✅ Mechanical + Biological filtration – Sponges trap waste while promoting bio-filtration for healthy water.

✅ Silent & economical – Runs on air with almost no power consumption, making it energy-efficient and quiet.

✅ Stable base & uplift tube – Strong design ensures it sits securely at the bottom of the tank with smooth water flow.
