Round Sponge ZOOLOGIA GĄBKA OKRĄGŁA 10/7 — aquarium filter/cleaning sponge 10×7 cm

ZOOLOGIA GĄBKA OKRĄGŁA 10/7 is a round aquarium sponge sized approximately 10×7 cm, designed for mechanical filtration and routine tank maintenance in freshwater aquariums. Made to fit internal filters, canister prefilter baskets, or to be used as a handheld cleaning pad, the sponge traps particulate waste, uneaten food and surface biofilm while allowing water flow. Its shape and dimensions make it suitable for confined filter compartments and for cleaning curved or flat surfaces on aquarium glass and decorations.

Advantages

The sponge provides consistent mechanical filtration by capturing visible debris and fine particles before they reach biological media. It is reusable after rinsing and reduces frequency of cartridge replacements when used as a prefilter. The round form factor offers easy insertion into circular filter housings and comfortable handling for manual cleaning tasks. Its open-cell structure maintains water permeability while retaining solids.

Suitable for

• Internal aquarium filters with circular compartments
• Canister filter prefilter baskets
• Manual cleaning of aquarium glass and ornaments
• Temporary filtration during tank maintenance or water changes

Key specifications

• Approximate dimensions: 10 cm diameter × 7 cm thickness
• Material type: open-cell filter sponge suitable for mechanical filtration
• Function: traps particulate waste and surface biofilm
• Compatibility: freshwater aquarium applications, fits small circular filter housings
• Maintenance: washable and reusable by rinsing in tank water

How to use

Install the sponge as a mechanical media in the filter compartment or prefilter basket so that water passes through it before reaching biological media. For manual cleaning, wet the sponge and gently wipe glass, plants or decorations to remove algae and biofilm. Rinse the sponge in aquarium water during regular maintenance to remove accumulated debris; avoid using tap water with chlorine when preserving beneficial bacteria on filter media.

Usage recommendations

Check the sponge periodically for compaction or heavy clogging and rinse as needed; replace if deformed or excessively worn to maintain effective filtration. When rinsing, use water from the aquarium to protect nitrifying bacteria important for biological filtration.
