Description

Sponge filters are a reliable source for adding mechanical and biological filtration to your aquarium with minimal setup and maintenance. Attaching airline tubing and an air pump (both sold separately) to the included airstone delivers continuous aeration, which pulls water through the dense sponge to trap debris. In return, your aquarium water is filtered from debris and receives oxygenation and circulation-the basics of water filtration. Sponge filtration is ideal for shrimp, baby fry and slow-moving aquatic life.

  • - IN-FIL 10 Sponge Filter from Imagitarium
  • - For aquariums up to 10 gallons
  • - Airstone located inside chamber
  • - Dense foam helps to form biological filtration
  • - Weighted base for stabilization
  • - Airline tubing and air pump sold separately

WARNING: This product can expose you to Carbon Black, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

Best sponge filter!

Works perfect, and the bubbles are small enough to not disturb my betta fish but enough of a good flow to oxygenate and filter the tank. Just grab yourself and Aqua air filter from Walmart and some tubing and you are set!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Questions

1 - 9 of 9 Questions

does this come with the tubing and plug in?

  1. No



I’m gonna ask the same question I believe the person who asked about replacing a cartridge that was broken during cleaning his filter is the air stone that is attached inside. Mine broke. Also is there a replacement air stone for this filter?

  1. Hi good day, we don't have replacement for this filter air stone you need to replace the whole thing unfortunately.



I was cleaning my tank and filter. I cracked the inner cartridge. Is there a way to just replace the cartridge or do I have ro replace the whole thing?

  1. Hello, There is no cartridge in this filter. Just a sponge which can be cleaned.



does this have carbon in the sponge

  1. No 



What size tubing does the filter connect to?

  1. Hi, The Imagitarium LED Aquarium Kit, 40 Gallons (SKU 3946424) is a rimmed tank, not rimless. Thanks.



I have a new single sponge filter in a 6-gallon tank using a Tetra air pump, and it’s producing a lot more bubbles than expected. Is this normal, or is the pump too strong for the tank?

  1. Hi, It is normal for the Imagitarium IN-FIL 10 Sponge Filter to produce a high volume of bubbles in a compact tank, as the filter’s flow rate is dependent on the air pump's volume, and even a small pump can create significant surface agitation in a 6-gallon tank. To reduce excessive turbulence while maintaining efficient filtration and oxygenation, an air control valve installed in the airline tubing between the pump and the filter can manually restrict airflow.  Thanks.



Is this good for a 15 gallon duckweed tank? Well, currently growing duckweed but still(no fish).

  1. Hi, For a 15-gallon duckweed tank, consider using an air-driven sponge filter. This type of filter provides a gentle flow that supports floating plant growth without disrupting the water surface. A sponge filter rated for a 10-gallon tank should be sufficient for maintaining clear water and beneficial bacteria in a tank without fish. Pair it with an air pump and tubing to create a suitable environment for your duckweed. Thanks.



is this filter good enough for a 10 gallon tank?

  1. Hi, The Imagitarium IN-FIL 10 Sponge Filter is a perfect solution for a 10-gallon tank. It provides essential mechanical and biological filtration, fostering a healthy environment for your aquatic friends. Thanks.



Does this add air to the water?

  1. Yes, this aerates the water, working as both a gentle filter and a bubbler. It requires an air pump which is sold separately.
