What is the filter that looks like a sponge

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Sponge filter - strictly biological filter. Can be run with an air pump or powerhead.
 
Good to have, great mechanical filtration, and when power goes out can run on battery powered air pumps and the sponge will contain bb! Here's mine in the right hand corner, I put a supercharger on mine!

Okay one person said bio an the other said mechanical .. Either way.. So it sucks in the bits and pieces floating around. Right? So if this is true ill add one or maybe 2. Then load my canisters with carbon, ammonia, and rings? How's that sound? My goal is to be a low maintence tank with just the weekly water changes.

I know this is possible cuz my 125 was crystal clear and easy to maintain with water chafes every week .

what is a super charger?
 
Sponge filters suck as mech ime
Actually if you use the coarse sponge and draw water through it using a powerhead, it will collect an amazing amount of particulate matter. Just make sure to put it in a bag underwater when you're removing it for cleaning. Otherwise the "crap" pours out into the tank as you lift it out of the water.
 
It is a forced induction on cars. Mostly fast cars unlike imports it actually serves a purpose and delivers extra HP by forcing more air into the engine. . Ie gt500
so F1 was talking about running 2 airlines into one for his sponge filter?

Superchargers are good for instant torque or quarter mile runs, turbos are very efficient in mpg and added top end, depends on the car! if the car already has incredible torque like a v10 then a turbo is going to help more then a supercharger but that all depends on so many factors and what the driver wants!

Glad someone knows a thing or two about cars around here, nice to meet you!

Yea it was just a metaphor, it definitely gives it a lot more air then that one air line did!



Sponge filter works both bio and mechanical, as said above with air powered SF its not as good for mechanical but still ok (more like a polisher), with a ph on it that thing will be awesome for mechanical and the same for bio, bb grows on it and water or gph is drawn thru the sponge so when the power goes out you still have gph going thru bb thus converting fish waste into nitrates! that is if you have a battery powered airpump on hand, after the hurricane hopefully everyone learned to have one for every tank as a backup! Many monster tanks survived days, even a week on battery operated air pumps, without them the water goes stale and depending on the stock, waste levels and a ton of other variables your fish have anywhere from 2-18 hours maybe less maybe more!

I have a 88mm Turbo mustang ;)

Torque to get off the line and top end to hit high speeds, best of both worlds! :popcorn:

I bet you have serious traction issues off the line, must be a fun challenge to rip on some jdm's! Does it have a cornfield mount? That would be beast!
