Sera Internal Filter L300
Air operated sponge filter designed for efficient mechanical filtration in aquariums.
These filters function like a mammoth or airlift pump. An air pump pushes the filter into the standpipe via a hose. Air draws aquarium water upward, passing through the fine mesh sponge. The water flows back through the sponge, where it is filtered and purified. Nitrifying bacteria essential for breaking down pollutants settle within the optimized sponge structure.

The filter works well with my air pump. My fry have been thriving since I installed it. The water flow is gentle and the sponge stays clean without clogging. Great for small fish.

I noticed a significant improvement in water clarity. The filter handles the small fish in my tank without causing stress. Easy to set up and maintain.

Perfect for a breeding tank. The larvae survive longer now. The sponge is durable and the bacteria colony grows steadily over time.
