How to Use

1. Measure and cut the sponge to fit your specific filter chamber, sump, or hanging box if necessary.
2. Rinse the sponge thoroughly in a bucket of dechlorinated aquarium water or aged tap water to remove any manufacturing dust before first use.
3. Place the sponge into your filtration system ensuring water flows evenly through the foam matrix.
4. During routine water changes, gently squeeze the sponge in old aquarium water to clear trapped detritus. Avoid washing under harsh untreated tap water to protect beneficial bacteria.

Important Note

Never clean filter sponges using untreated tap water containing high chlorine or chloramines, as this will destroy the beneficial nitrobacteria colony. Perform regular maintenance based on your fish bio-load and feeding habits to prevent clogging and maintain optimal water movement.
