Aquatop High Flow Sponge Filter

Looking for a simple and reliable way to keep your aquarium water sparkling clean? Look no further than the Aquatop CAF Classic Aqua Flow Sponge Filters! For decades, these sponge filters have been a favorite among hobbyists, breeders, and hatcheries, thanks to their:

• Easy Maintenance: Spend less time on maintenance and more time enjoying your beautiful fish! Sponge filters require less cleaning compared to traditional filters.

• Dual Filtration Powerhouse: Enjoy the benefits of both mechanical and biological filtration in one convenient unit.

• Versatility at its Finest: CAF filters can be used in various ways:

  • Stand-alone filter for smaller aquariums

  • Breeding filter to provide a safe haven for fry

  • Secondary filter for added filtration in larger aquariums

  • Pre-filtration unit in external or top filters

• Simple Setup and Cleaning: Easy to install with an air pump or powerhead (sold separately). Cleaning is a breeze! Simply use some of your tank's water to rinse out the sponge during routine maintenance.
