Very helpful thanks. 👍

[@EireFirst2024]

Is there any such thing as a QUIET air pump... Please & thanks in advance 👍👍

[@MyLifeInTheDesert]

Yessss this Top Fin air pump I bought today is so loud! It’s louder than my 250 gallon canister filter. I can’t even hear that one. This is ridiculous! I thought something was wrong with the air pump.

Nice explanation. One question: have you ever heard of kuhli loaches crawling inside sponge filters through the holes at the top?

[@FishAddicts]

It hasn't happened that we have heard of. But if you had an oversized sponge with small kuhlis I could see it happening

Lol why doesn’t my sponge filter sink ? It floats ?

[@rancoraquaticswholesale2225]

when its new ,its full of trapped air bubbles ,just squeeze it out under water and it should sink. you may have to do this a couple times when the sponges are new. also make sure not to crush the inner parts of the filter when squeezing.

[@joshuamajoor2279]

Are there any benefits to having an air stone inside the sponge filter?

[@FishAddicts]

Air stones will reduce the bubble size which creates less noise, and a constant lift of bubbles rather than more intermitten but a disadvantage is you may have less surface agitation. We run all our filters without airstones as we find the surface agitation to be of more use to us.

@Rancor Aquatics one way check valve?

[@littlewill745]

I got a new triangle shaped sponge filter and I set it up but it has too much pressure and I don’t know how to slow it down!!! I want to get my betta soon but I want to fix the filter

[@FishAddicts]

Try to put on an air control valve, so that you can control the air pressure going to your sponge filter. Another alternative is a smaller air pump
