Vide Description...
The biOrb's "sponge filter" has the important role of trapping aquarium waste products. Waste within the the aquarium is drawn down through the ceramic media and towards the filter. In contrast to many aquariums, the biOrb sponge filter has far less to do with maintaining the aquarium's beneficial bacteria (this is chiefly the job of the biOrb's ceramic media).
Waste material gets trapped in the sponge filter and this accumulates over time. As waste builds up in the sponge it releases nutrients into the water, Such waste products are detrimental to your aquarium's water quality and also the long-term health of your fish.
The regular cleaning and replacement of the sponge filter is an important part of maintaining your biOrb and maintaining "crystal clear" water. This video talks you through what steps are required to maintain this filter and offers tips to help further reduce the ongoing build-up of harmful waste.
There are various alternative (non-biOrb products, and much cheaper!) filters widely available for use in biOrbs. These include compatible air stones and filter media:
amzn.to/3LrQWm2
amzn.to/42ipfCb
amzn.to/3yMPByl
amzn.to/3JczyyE
If you just want to obtain filter sponges only (non-biOrb product, and much cheaper!)), as you plan to use an alternative activated carbon product, then get these:
amzn.to/3Jo0U54
A good cheap brush set to use, to clean the inside of the biOrb bubble tube etc, is the one I use:
amzn.to/40exduh
As always, a big fishy thanks for watching!
