Benefits

Maintaining a stable biological filter is vital for neutralizing harmful ammonia and nitrite, especially in tropical climates where fish metabolic rates are higher. The Xinyou XY-1813 Sponge traps fine suspended particles without restricting necessary water flow, preventing premature filter clogging. Its gentle suction design ensures that tiny fry, newly hatched fish, and delicate ornamental shrimps are fully protected from getting sucked into powerheads or pumps, supporting high survival rates in breeding aquariums.

How to Use

1. Unpack the Xinyou XY-1813 sponge from its packaging.

2. Rinse the sponge thoroughly in a bucket of conditioned aquarium water or dechlorinated tap water to remove any manufacturing dust.

3. Install the sponge into your designated filter compartment or onto the compatible filter intake unit.

4. During routine tank maintenance, gently squeeze the sponge inside removed tank water during water changes. Avoid washing it under raw chlorinated tap water to preserve beneficial bacterial colonies.

5. Replace the sponge every 6 to 12 months depending on physical wear and tear.

Important Note

Never clean filter sponges directly under high-pressure tap water containing high chlorine levels, as this will destroy the beneficial nitrifying bacteria and cause ammonia spikes in your aquarium. Inspect the foam periodically for structural breakdown and replace it when necessary to maintain peak biological filtration efficiency.
