The Aqua One Black 15PPI (pores per inch) Sponge is a versatile and essential filter media designed for both mechanical and biological filtration in your aquarium. Its carefully chosen pore density makes it an excellent choice for trapping particulate matter while simultaneously providing an expansive surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonize.
How it Works:
As water passes through the sponge, its open-cell structure effectively traps suspended debris, uneaten food, and fish waste, providing crucial mechanical filtration. Simultaneously, the numerous pores within the sponge become home to colonies of nitrifying bacteria. These vital bacteria convert toxic ammonia and nitrite into less harmful nitrate, maintaining a stable and healthy aquatic environment.
