## Long description

ZOOLOGIA square filter sponge VAT005474 sized 12×7 cm is a mechanical filtration media designed to capture debris and suspended particles in aquariums. The sponge fits into internal filter compartments, external canister pre-filter chambers or custom DIY filtration setups. It provides a reusable, washable surface for mechanical retention to help maintain water clarity between more thorough filter media changes.
Advantages
The foam structure offers consistent particle trapping while allowing water to flow through without significant restriction. The rectangular 12×7 cm format is convenient for cutting or stacking to adapt to different filter housings. The sponge can be rinsed and reused multiple times, reducing waste and replacement frequency compared with disposable pads.
Suitable for
Internal aquarium filters and small external pre-filters
DIY filtration systems and custom media trays
Mechanical removal of uneaten food, plant debris and suspended solids
Temporary use during tank maintenance or water changes
Key specifications
Shape: square/rectangular pad
Dimensions: 12 × 7 cm
Material type: mechanical foam/sponge suitable for aquarium water
Reuse: washable and reusable for multiple maintenance cycles
Function: mechanical filtration / particulate removal
How to use
Rinse the sponge in dechlorinated water or tank water before first use to remove loose particles. Place the sponge into the filter compartment so that incoming water flows through the foam surface. For optimal performance check the sponge regularly and rinse when visibly clogged; avoid using tap water with strong chlorine — use tank water or dechlorinated water to preserve beneficial bacteria if biological filtration is also present. Trim or fold the 12×7 cm sponge to fit non-standard filter slots or stack multiple pieces to increase thickness.
Usage recommendations
Inspect the sponge every 1–2 weeks in active tanks and rinse as needed; replace when foam degradation or persistent compaction reduces flow. Do not use harsh detergents or boiling water. Store dry sponges away from direct sunlight when not in use.
