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 40 Sponge Filter from Imagitarium
  • - For aquariums up to 40 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.

Great product, HOWEVER, use corresponding air pump

Eli Werner

Great filter I love that I can use it for smaller species and especially invertebrates like shrimp. Works great, great flow would definitely recommend, however make sure you have the appropriate air pump to ensure you don’t loose suction.

Yes, I recommend this product.

This is a huge sponge for the fish tank! It’s perfect for 20-60 gallon tanks. It gives bubbles to the water and the fish 🐟 love it!

Yes, I recommend this product.

If I buy 2 of these, can I like, stack them on top of each other?

  1. Hi good day, yes, you can do modification on your set up, but this may affect the performance of your mechanical air pump, we suggest using one only for power and efficiency.

Is there a way to get a replacement foam/sponge part?

  1. Since Petco does not manufacture a standalone replacement sponge specifically tailored for the IN-FIL 40, you can use SKU 2441408 (Imagitarium Replacement A Filter Sponges, Pack of 2) or SKU 3865739 (Imagitarium Replacement Sponges Filter, Pack of 2). While these SKUs are originally designed for Imagitarium's smaller desktop or mini air-driven kits, they are the closest official brand alternatives available. You can easily cut, stack, or modify these smaller block sponges to wrap around or fit inside your existing IN-FIL 40 core to restore mechanical filtration without buying an entirely new filter unit.
