{"product_id":"hygger-sponge-filter-size-m","title":"hygger Sponge Aquarium Filter, Size M, M for 15 to 55 gallon tank, 4 biochemical sponges, 1 bag of filtered ceramic balls","description":"\u003cp\u003eFour biochemical sponges and two media boxes holding ceramic filter balls are in the box, and the size is M for 15 to 55 gallon tanks. An air pump drives it, and neither the pump nor the air hose comes with it. Width of the filter body is 6.3 inches, and its height falls between 9 inches and 13 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat ships with the filter\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 biochemical sponges for the filter body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 media boxes holding ceramic filter balls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne adjustable outlet pipe and a rotatable base on the filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDoes it suit your tank?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAquariums between 15 and 55 gallons are the range this filter is sized for. Where the tank is bigger, hygger suggests running 2 of them rather than one. Pump choice follows tank size, and the brand asks for a powerful one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore buying, check the height of your water line against the 9 to 13 inch filter body, and make sure your air pump accepts a 4 mm air hose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow the air pump drives it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAir from the pump is what moves water through this filter, entering at a 0.59 inch inner circle in the sponge. Flow stays small and slow because the airflow sets it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSponges, ceramic balls and moving parts\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo levels of filtration run here, mechanical and biological, built on multi-layer filter cotton with a large surface area and on ceramic filter balls inside the media boxes. Sponges lift out for cleaning or replacement, and other filter media can go into the media boxes instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth the direction and the height of the water flow are set at the outlet pipe, and the bottom turns a full 360 degrees. A suction cup holds the unit against the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this filter\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow much water flow does it make?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlow is small and slow, and the amount of air the pump sends through the 4 mm hose sets it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I run it with the pump I already own?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAny air pump that takes a 4 mm air hose will connect. Pick one with enough power for the size of your tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat do I need to buy separately?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn air pump and an air hose, since neither is included with the 4 sponges and 2 media boxes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I replace the ceramic balls with another medium?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, the two media boxes accept other filter media in place of the ceramic balls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich tanks does Size M cover?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ehygger rates it for 15 to 55 gallon tanks, and recommends 2 units on larger tanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSetting it up\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePush one end of a 4 mm air hose onto the air pump and push the other end onto the filter, then set the outlet pipe to the direction and height you want. To clean it, take the sponges out of the body and put them back or replace them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"hygger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44478641307711,"sku":null,"price":43.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/2409\/1199\/files\/hygger-aquarium-filter-size-m.jpg?v=1794739921","url":"https:\/\/dogjointly.com\/products\/hygger-sponge-filter-size-m","provider":"DogJointly","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
