AquaCity XINYOU Corner Filter for Aquarium Fish Tank

This filter employs an external air pump or an integrated water pump to generate air bubbles that draw water through the filter. As water is pulled through the lift tube or pump, it is immediately replaced by water entering the filter. The top layer of the white filter pad provides mechanical filtration. The black bio-sponge in the second layer and the ceramic rings with gravel offer biochemical filtration, supporting the colonization of beneficial bacteria. These bacteria help to break down harmful waste, such as ammonia and nitrite.

Regarding maintenance, the sponge will need to be gently rinsed every 2 to 4 weeks when it becomes dirty. It is recommended to use water from the fish tank, rather than tap water, to preserve the beneficial bacteria. The dimensions of this filter are 2.75"(L) x 3.15"(W) x 7.0"(H).

This filter will supply much-needed oxygen to the water, making it suitable for tank sizes up to 5-20 gallons.

The water is drawn through the filter as the external air pump or integrated water pump creates air bubbles. This process replaces the water being pulled out through the lift tube or pump. The mechanical filtration is provided by the top layer of the white filter pad, while the biochemical filtration is handled by the black bio-sponge in the second layer and the ceramic rings with gravel. These components support the growth of beneficial bacteria, which play a crucial role in breaking down harmful waste, such as ammonia and nitrite.

Maintenance of the filter involves rinsing the sponge every 2 to 4 weeks when it becomes dirty. It is important to use water from the fish tank instead of tap water to preserve the beneficial bacteria. The dimensions of this filter are 2.75"(L) x 3.15"(W) x 7.0"(H), making it suitable for tank sizes up to 5-20 gallons.

In summary, this filter effectively oxygenates the water by utilizing an external air pump or an integrated water pump to draw water through the filter, providing both mechanical and biochemical filtration. Regular maintenance of the sponge is required to ensure the ongoing effectiveness of the filter.
