Filtration - Air Operated
Huey Hung Sponge Filters
Large surface area. Operated by an airline from your air pump.
These filters are proving popular with Discus breeders
who demand the cleanest aquaria.
Airline fits inside stem. Easy to strip down for cleaning. Sponge sits above
tank base & doesn't get clogged up with debris so more air for the bacteria
in the sponge to do their job. These are well thought out filters.
Stand alone design on many models with weighted base (no need for suckers on
many models).
Many filters are capable of being fitted with a powerhead for
increased flow.
We recommend the micro filters
for fry tubs. Fry may be small but they excrete wastes. Fry get put into clean
tubs with clean water. No bacteria to kick start the micro system so you lose
the fry. These micro filters look good. Put the sponge in the base of the parents
tank & allow it to get coated in nitrifying bacteria (or set the whole filter
up in this tank). Put the filter back together & put in a fry tub. Don't
clean the sponge out. A clinically clean sponge is no good to anyone. The filters
are not cheap to get hold of but cost about the same as 2 pairs of killies in
auction.
I've bred thousands of killies over the years & used margarine tubs to raise
fry. Now you can put a proper filter in these tubs!!

A small filter for
fry containers. These filters are 70 mm in sponge diameter &
90 mm in total depth from base to spout making them ideal in larger
margarine tubs etc holding small fry. Killie breeders are going
to find this little filter a real winner in stopping build up of
nitrite/nitrates in the water. £5 This model is currently out of stock. The WG 01 is the same filter with a slightly different sponge. |

The PW (Particulate Waste) range of filters consists of a series of chambers where you can put whatever media you like - wool, sponge, carbon, peat. They are driven by airline from an air pump. At the top of the filter the rising bubbles hit a fan which helps to drag more water through the filter - ingenius. £4·65 |
This is a spare 'pod' for either the PW 01 or PW 02 filters. Just join them up & cheaply extend the capacity of your filter. £4·10
