Heavyweight Sponge Filter Champion of the World Own The Biggest Sponge Filter in Your Fish Club Great Conversation Starter with your Fish Friends Fully Functional Sponge filters offer reliability and hassle-free operation. With no moving parts, all you need is an air pump with some airline tubing, and you've got a filter that is fully contained within your aquarium. Our Giant Coarse Sponge Filter is a fully functional filter that may be used in a giant aquarium or pond, but we really designed this for fun and as a conversation piece. You may attach an air stone and airline tubing to this filter and connect it to an air pump, or simply display this giant filter on a shelf next to your aquarium. Additional Supplies Needed The Giant Coarse Sponge Filter is made for display, but is fully functional, should you choose. It does not produce air on its own, so you also need to buy the following components to run the sponge filter:— Air pump — Airline tubing— Check valve (to prevent water from pouring out of the tank when the power is off) Dimensions: 26.5 Inches tall by 13.5 Wide. (approximately, sponge thickness isn't exact and height depends on how screwed down the top is)Pore Size: 25ppi (different manufacturers rate porosity slightly different as it's an approximation) Cleaning Instructions: While this filter is functional, cleaning may require additional help if using the suggested bag method used on our normal-sized sponge filters. We suggest cleaning the Giant Coarse Sponge Filter with a hose outside, or in a large utility sink.
