How to set up a SPONGE FILTER

Today we are visiting April's Aquarium. We will show you everything you need to run an aquarium sponge filter. This is a step by step video that will show you how to run the most affordable aquarium filter. Sponge filters rarely need to be replaced, were sponges in hang on back filters do need to be replaced. We will show you how they work, and why you should consider using them.
We will also show you how a fish store, or fish room, might run a lot of tanks with only a few pumps.

Great info on sponge filters! I like how they ran the PVC in the room and connected the airline tubing to it and the filters!

Hi! Do I need to let a sponge filter run in a tank for awhile before adding fish to tank?

[@twincitiesguppies]

Great video!!

[@FridayFishFacts]

Thanks Keng!

Can I just put a sponge or mesh around my filter pump's intake to prevent sucking up fry?

[@FridayFishFacts]

Yes you can, they actually sell something you can put over it

[@rosagitana3255]

How do you avoid the floating of the filter?

[@FridayFishFacts]

You just have to weigh it down with something until it gets water logged
