What's the capacity of your air pump and how big is your tank. It won't keep tank crystal clear. Bottom needs to be cleaned during weekly water changes.
Hey mate not too sure what brand this is, saw it on ebay and supplier was in Australia so i add it to my shopping cart. It is working well so far and pulling all the excess food and fish waste towards itself which i can easily siphon.
I have same filter and am using an Eheim 2 outlet air pump on a 10 gallon tank. I don't get anywhere near the bubbles out of mine like you are getting? Also running both outputs of air pump into single line on filter so should be providing enough air. ideas? Doesn't matter how much I clean them either.
Hi I have an 105litre tank and have this double sponge filter and a normal big filter, would I be able to just use the double sponge filter and remove the normal filter?
I don't think it will be an issue, anywhere between 200 to 400 liter per hour air pump would be good. What type of fish do you have in the tank and is it a planted aquarium?
Will this filter be okay with a fire belly frogs tank? And can it be layed on the bottom of the tank, or only side? Also what airpump should I use? Thank you for good video! Sorry for many questions
Hi mate, I haven't kept any frogs so won't be able to share any experience. In regards to filter positioning, if bubbles are coming out of tip then it will be okay to place it horizontally.
You will definitely need a proper filter, depending on size of tank, number and size of goldfish. Either a sump, canister or internal filter would be ideal. Goldies grow big in size and they do make a lot of waste. An airstone would be a good addition too. Sponge Filter are good for small fish. Or if your tank is under stock, water quality would best determine if you need an upgrade.
I bought exact same one from ebay. How come my bubbles is less than yours? How do I fix that? I have films on the water because not enough water movement Im guessing. Is the film also bad?
Hi bubbles would depends on your airpump, I believe mine was 400 lph. What's yours? White film should disappear with surface agitation from the sponge filter.
Excellent video 👍🏽. I got two of the smaller version. What size is your tank & how often do u clean the filter? I just got the sea chem tidal 35 but I think I'm gonna try those, my canister's acting funny 🤔
Hey mate, it is a 3 feet tank but i fill it up to 150 litre. I only have small fish in the tank so clean one sponge at a time every fortnight or whenever i see it getting dirty. Appreciate your comment and have a nice weekend.
There is no airstone added to the filter, bubbles are bit small compared to a diy sponge filter but with addition of airstone it will have an amazing effect.
I have a 20 gallon fish tank is it to big if I buy a bouble filter for my 20 gallon friend I’m really new to this I’m going to buy a 100 gallon tank in a couple of months it will be awesome
Hey mate, it depends what sort of fish you are keeping in the tank. I can see you have guppies so sponge filter would be the best. Go for medium or large size since guppies will have fry and tank will get overstocked in no time. They are very cheap 8 to 12 buks so you can upgrade them anytime you like to.
It won't matter then, give it a quick rinse and add to aquarium. It will take some time for beneficial bacteria to start building. I would suggest doing couple of water changes a week to keep the tank clean. What type of fish do you have in the aquarium
@@Fishaholic So, I need to rinse the sponge with old fish tank water before placing in fresh water? Or should I operate in dirty water for few minutes before placing in the fresh water? I have these fishes in my aquarium:- Southern platyfish,Three spot gourami Rainbow shark and Zebra fish.
@@sagittarius544 Rinse it in clean dechlorinated water and place it in the tank. Will be good to buy live bacteria and add to the tank since you have fish in the tank.
Hello, good video! My sponge filter is on its way. Also a bubble tube, so if I use a T piece to use 1 pump for 2 accessoires, will the power be to insufficient for the filter and bubble tube? Or will it be enough for both?
It depends on the air pump, 200 litre an hour should be okay but 400 litre an hour would do a good job. I have used 1 pump for 2 different filters in 2 separate tanks without any issue. Appreciate your time and have a nice weekend
Fishaholic I have made a small cut and it does fit but I haven’t set up the aquarium yet. Do you think it would effect the air negatively or anything else?
@@noelelenes9090 There won't be any negative effect. But check to make sure that bubbles are coming out from the top of the tube and not from the sides otherwise filter won't be that efficient.
Hi Karin, I still got the filter running in the same tank and have had no issue with sponge or the suction cups. Things are going steady here and I hope it gets better across the world. Appreciate you asking and wish you good health and be safe.
How big are the Oranda? Goldfish makes a lot of waste so if Oranda are small then you can use it for now otherwise I would suggest using filter that is powered by a power head.
They might not like bubbles, my goldfish loves the bubbles lol. Go for a stronger filter especially for mechanical filtration so all fish poop is collected. Hang on back filter or top aquarium filter. Water should go through filter 3 to 5 times capacity of the tank.
Not too sure about how fry act in natural habitat but my guppy swim near surface entire day and enjoy the current and goes to the bottom in the dark to sleep. I keep my fry in a breeder net located at the top too and they stay their till they are big enough to be released in the tank. I guess different people use different approach and stick to the one that worked for them and of course the fish.
I clean one sponge at a time in aquarium water and every 3 weeks or so. Depending on how fast they get dirty. I am still using the same sponge filter and have had no issues so far. Even the suction cups are holding well.
I have used it in my 3 feet tank with over 40 guppy fish and have had no issue at all. You will require an air pump to run the filter. Appreciate your comment.
@@Fishaholic ok thank you so much.... Actually I'm gonna order it that's why I want to conform all the things and also I'll keep small fishes as my aquarium is small 😊😊
I have used it in my 55 gallon tank and worked fine for me but I added plants for additional filtration and kept tank barebottom for easy maintenance and precise cleaning of fish waste and excess food. It should work as long as you have other elements in control.

Thanks Bro. Yesterday I have ordered this.❤✔👊👍😁
You are most welcome and wish you best of luck in setting up sponge filter.
Nice double sponges, just ordered a few off eBay. Thanks mate 👍 🐠
Cheers bud, they work great 👍 and so cheap to get.
@@Fishaholic I got 3 xy-2822 for $12.50. that's less then 5 bucks each! Now I can replace all the bare air stones
Great deal mate 👍. Less than 5 bucks a piece is very cheap. It will be a good addition to your tanks 👌.
@@Fishaholic I thought I'd try them instead of buying traditional sponge filter
@@Fishaholic mine are working great mate. Started up a tank for a friend using half, and now raising some Angelfish fry
If I get this do I still need a regular water filter and bubbler or what u recommend me to leave still
I also use it at my tank it really work nice stuff
I am a big fan of sponge filter and these double sponge filters are great for the price we pay. Thank you once again mate
What wattage air pump do i need and will an air stone work in it and work better
Thanks
Thank you for watching
I am using this filter with air pump.. I don't see suction is powerful to collect the sediments in tank .
What's the capacity of your air pump and how big is your tank. It won't keep tank crystal clear. Bottom needs to be cleaned during weekly water changes.
Resonate with your points, dual sponge filter is my fav, too. What brand you got. Mine is Huijukon, works great and high quality

How much is the flow rate of the air pump, this would be a big factor.

Hi Denis, I have had it running on 400lph air pump
@@Fishaholic thank you
Will this work for a 150 liter tank
It should if you keep small tropical fish and don't overstock the tank
@@Fishaholic i have axolotl
My brother can you put a airstone on it
Air stone can be added to the sponge filter, it will make bubbles small and sponge will operate quietly.
nice video 👍👍
Thank you mate, sponge filter is doing a great job.
By using a sponge filter does the tank require media? Or will the sponge filter do the work?
Hey mate, Sponge Filter will work as a bio media and will also mechanically filter the tank.
it has airstone inside? i wonder why the bubbles are small.
There is no airstone added to the filter, bubbles are bit small compared to a diy sponge filter but with addition of airstone it will have an amazing effect.
I am going to start growing plants
Good to hear mate and thank you for stopping by 😀
Hi is this Filter sufficient for a 40 litre tank or would I need another Filter also thanks i have guppies btw
Hi Michael, this should do perfect in a 40 litre tank.

Hey! Nice informative video . Is it good for a 22 gallon fish tank ??
Hey mate, it should do a good job for 22 gallon tank especially when you have small fish in there. I have used it in bigger tanks without any issues.
Should I wash this sponge with my previous fish tank water while installing or normal water?
If you already have a cycled tank then wash it with aquarium water.
@@Fishaholic there's no filter it's dirty

From where I can get the tshaped connector?
Any aquarium shop should sell the connectors. Alternatively there are plenty available online.
I bought this same exact filter but standard tubing doesn’t fit
Sorry to hear that, mine fit with out any issue. Have you found a way to work around it to make it functional.

They are very cheap mate AUD $8 for the filter with free shipment.
@@Fishaholic oooo that is cheap...gonna look for them! Thanks
How did you go mate

Does it need an air pump to run
Hi Yusra, it will need an air pump to operate
@@Fishaholic Okie, also thanks for fast reply 😊
No problem at all mate
Can i use this filter for my 2 ft. Aquarium? which has 2 oranda goldfish
How big are the Oranda? Goldfish makes a lot of waste so if Oranda are small then you can use it for now otherwise I would suggest using filter that is powered by a power head.
@@Fishaholic about 4-5 inches
@@Fishaholic they are being so uncomfortable that's why i need to ask you for this
They might not like bubbles, my goldfish loves the bubbles lol. Go for a stronger filter especially for mechanical filtration so all fish poop is collected. Hang on back filter or top aquarium filter. Water should go through filter 3 to 5 times capacity of the tank.
@@Fishaholic what about classic sponge filter?
Don't Fry prefer lower water depth? 🤔🤨
Not too sure about how fry act in natural habitat but my guppy swim near surface entire day and enjoy the current and goes to the bottom in the dark to sleep.

How often do you change out the sponges?
I clean one sponge at a time in aquarium water and every 3 weeks or so. Depending on how fast they get dirty. I am still using the same sponge filter and have had no issues so far. Even the suction cups are holding well.
I bought 4 to help my canister filter
What sort of fish do you have, there will be lot of water movement in the tank.
Is it ok for turtle ?
Too small for a turtle tank. I would suggest some internal powerhead filter
Can we use it for 1.5 foot fish tank?? And is it a oxygen filter??
I have used it in my 3 feet tank with over 40 guppy fish and have had no issue at all. You will require an air pump to run the filter. Appreciate your comment.

Thats correct friend.

what gallon tank
Hey Jacob, its 50 gallon tank but usually fill up to 35-40 since I only had small fish in the tank.
That white thing on pipe is bio filter (I think)
I just ordered this on ebay. Will it clean a 35 gallon tank?
I have used it in my 55 gallon tank and worked fine for me but I added plants for additional filtration and kept tank barebottom for easy maintenance and precise cleaning of fish waste and excess food.
