Description

The sponge filter consists of a cubelifter and a 5" x 5" x 5" poret foam sponge (25ppi) that is glued with silicone onto an unglazed porcelain tile. This filter is optimal for 15-30 gallon tanks. Over the years, we tested several sponges in our hatchery. We believe that this sponge (made by Swiss Tropicals) is one of the best sponges on the market. Simply because it doesn't clog quickly and it doesn't fall apart like other sponges. The poret foam that the sponge filter is made of is specifically manufactured for aquarium and pond use and has a much larger inner surface than other filter materials (about 1800 sq inch per quart of volume), which permits more rapid and superior growth of bacterial cultures.

4 out of 5 ordered were great!
By Dave from BC, Canada on January 23, 2018
One of my 5" poret cube filters, despite being affixed with a tile base does not sink and floats/bubbles away at the surface despite adjusting my air flow. The other same size filters work great but even after several days of operation the one continues to float in the tank. I was told due to a shortage that one 25 ppi unit would be substituted with a 30 ppi poret foam block, however I don't believe that these are designed to float when attached to a base regardless of the foam porosity.

Response from Angelfish: Unfortunately, some of the units will tend to float due to a trapped air inside of the foam. We would suggest to squeeze the sponge and remove the trapped air, that should resolve the issue.

Response from the customer: I had squeezed it originally. But since receiving your email I squeezed it out more effectively and it has since sunk to the bottom as appropriate! Thanks for your reply and all products ordered are working great! The fish are much happier as they continue to grow in numb
