## Summary description

ZOOLOGIA GĄBKA OKRĄGŁA 12/9 is a round aquarium sponge intended for filter cleaning and mechanical filtration. The product designation includes size reference 12/9; it serves to trap debris and particulate matter, improving water clarity and protecting biological media.

## Long description

ZOOLOGIA GĄBKA OKRĄGŁA 12/9 is a round aquarium sponge designed for mechanical filtration and routine filter maintenance in home aquariums. The sponge captures debris and suspended particles, helping to maintain water clarity and preventing larger solids from reaching biological filter media. Its circular shape and specified size make it suitable for compatible filter housings and cartridge systems where a compact, washable mechanical medium is required.
Advantages
The sponge provides effective mechanical filtration by trapping visible waste, uneaten food and fine particulate matter while remaining easy to rinse and reuse. Its durable foam structure resists tearing during maintenance and supports consistent water flow through the filter. As a washable medium, it reduces the need for frequent replacements and helps protect biological media downstream by preventing premature clogging.
Suitable for
Routine cleaning of aquarium filters in small to medium home aquariums
Use as a mechanical pre-filter to protect biological media
Replacement or addition to cylindrical or round cartridge filter setups
Temporary use during tank maintenance to trap suspended debris
Key specifications
Shape: round
Primary function: mechanical filtration and filter cleaning
Material: open-cell foam suitable for water flow and particle capture
Washable and reusable for multiple maintenance cycles
Compatible with compact filter housings and cartridge systems
How to use
Remove the sponge from the filter housing and rinse it under aquarium or dechlorinated water to remove trapped debris; avoid using hot tap water or detergents that can harm beneficial bacteria. Squeeze gently several times until most visible waste is expelled, then place the sponge back in the filter in its original orientation. For best results, perform inspection and rinsing during routine maintenance intervals, replacing the sponge only when the foam shows signs of permanent wear or deterioration.
Usage recommendations
Inspect the sponge regularly and rinse in aquarium water during partial water changes. Do not use cleaning agents or boiling water. If biological filtration performance declines, check that the sponge is not overly compacted and consider combining it with biological media to maintain balanced filtration.
