Chemical Bio Sponge Filter This simple internal filter operates with the power of any air pump connected to it via a flexible hose. It can also be used as a pre-filter for external filters or powerheads. Sponge filters provide suitable mechanical and biological filtration, depending on the filter size and the biological load in the aquarium. They are cost-effective as they consume only a minimal amount of energy to pump the required air.
