• Enhanced Oxygenation:
  By improving water flow, this sponge replacement aids in better oxygen distribution throughout the tank, which is essential for the health of your aquatic life.

• Convenient and Cost-Effective:

Aquarium Care and Compatibility:

• Water Conditions:

  • Temperature: 72°F to 82°F (22°C to 28°C)

Tank Mates and Fish Compatibility:

• The OF Ocean Free Replacement Sponge is ideal for use in tanks with small to medium-sized fish, as well as plants and other aquatic life.

• Compatible Tank Mates:

  • Peaceful freshwater fish species like Tetras, Gouramis, and Rasboras
  • Shrimp, snails, and other invertebrates
  • Live plants benefit from a clean and well-oxygenated tank environment.

• Avoid:

  • Aggressive or large fish that may disturb the filtration system.
  • Overcrowding, as too many fish can overwhelm the filter, making it harder for the sponge to maintain water quality effectively.

Feeding Habits and Care:

• Feeding:
  Ensure that the fish in your aquarium are fed appropriate portions to avoid excess waste that could clog the filter. Opt for high-quality flake food, pellets, and live or frozen foods like brine shrimp or bloodworms, depending on your fish species.

• Care:
  Regular cleaning of the replacement sponge is essential for maintaining filter performance. Rinse the sponge in tank water every few weeks to remove excess debris and prevent clogging. Be mindful not to use tap water, as it can harm beneficial bacteria necessary for biological filtration.
