Aquarium Co-Op Pre Seeded Sponge Filter Large

This is an Aquarium Co-Op Pre Seeded Sponge Filter Large (or active sponge filter) This is a large-size filter and is designed for moderately stocked tanks up to 55 gallons. This filter requires the use of an air pump to be attached using airline tubing (not included) It has been in an aquarium for at least 6 weeks to be pre-seeded with nitrifying bacteria to help jump-start your cycle or even instant cycle your fish tank as seen in this video How to Instant Cycle a Fish Tank. I recommend this style of the nitrogen cycle as opposed to a fishless cycle. I find using a Pre Seeded Sponge Filter works 100% of the time and there is no stress on the fish or worry about losing fish. When you receive this active sponge filter, make sure to add any water in the bag to the tank. Do not worry about it being dirty. It is full of nitrifying bacteria and you do not want to throw this out or siphon it out with a water change until the aquarium is fully established. Please remember that this Aquarium Co-Op Pre-Seeded Sponge Filter Large will only affect Ammonia levels and Nitrite levels. If you have high nitrates, you will need to do water changes to lower them. Please remember to check your source water levels when having water parameter issues. If you are looking for a smaller filter, try this.
