The Tech Den Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Did an order with a supplier and from time to time they will send something extra - a sample - something to try. One of the items I thought - oh yeah breaking ground here (sarcasm) - a sponge filter no real biggy - well that was until I had a closer look. Today we are looking at ways to save power in the fishroom or in tanks and usually the good ol sponge runs supreme here is a good sidekick. Ceramic Underwater filter - this is no normal looking sponge. Definitely not what I was expecting and love the idea - great for Nano's - breeding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamiya Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Hey John What sorta price are they running at... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tech Den Posted March 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 I have listed them on the website - $15.40 then less your QLDAF discount - they come out at $13.86 - I think they are very well priced for what they are with the media. The other thing I like is if you get a little worried when you clean your sponge too well - you have a nice little bacteria house on standby or use to seed another tank. Other than filtration it gives you a little less risk and handy for power outages - there are just so many situations they would be handy other than a good bio/mechanical air driven filtration. Bio Sponge filter with compartment for ceramic bio media. Air driven simply connect to a air pump and you have a cheap way of filtration of both Biological Filtration with the porous bio media and also mechanical filtration with the Sponge. I only just received a big order from the supplier on Friday and called them to say thanks for the teaser and looks like I will be ordering again on Monday and hope to have stock on Wednesday or Thursday. If you want to pre-order them, go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matmatmat Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 I've used those in shrimp tanks with great results they are prettier than normal sponges and do an awesome job!! They throw a bigger bubble than normal sponges and that did cause a splashing issue on the surface but they are just so much better looking that fixing that was worth while.. I recommend them, especially if you are doing a pretty tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will have to post up a few picks too when it is all complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satchiel Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 You will have to post up a few picks too when it is all complete. I most definitely will, with thanks! Might just be the deciding factor in convincing me to pick up a second Aquael Oxypro 150 to drive them...after all, a new system needs all new hardware, & such... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
