AnticOphid Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 (edited) If I buy the upgraded sponge filter for a 10 gallon, can I use the nano usb air pump? Or do I need to buy the air pump that’s linked in the sponge filter description? Thanks! Edited January 8 by AnticOphid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastie Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 It is all about the liters/hour output. The lower the output the less likely it will work as a biological filtration and only an aeration. It is hard to determine specifics Cory made interesting video and ofcourse it depends on other things, the sponge density, depth of the tank.... https://expertaquarist.com/sponge-filter-selection-guide Dont forget to wash the sponge in normal water 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllFishNoBrakes Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I have a usb pump hooked up to the air collar on a small sponge filter. Works great. While I don’t have the easy flow kit on it, there is plenty of air coming from the collar to create a flow if I wanted that. The only thing I will say is to just keep an eye on the usb pump. They’re notorious for dying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
govsfabshop Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I'm running a medium with the new ezflow on a usb pump and its working just fine, its in a 40 breeder with a tidal 55 and keeps things moving rather nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
