Frequently Asked Questions

What does a SOBO sponge filter do?
It filters impurities from the water, helps circulate it, and gives nitrifying bacteria a place to be cultivated for biochemical filtration.

Can I use these filters in a shrimp tank?
Yes. They are described as helping to protect the environment of both fish and shrimp.

Can the sponge filter be reused?
Yes. It can be cleaned and used repeatedly, which makes it a reusable option rather than a throwaway one.

Which model sizes are available?
The range includes the SB-933 Mini at 5x5x12cm, the SB-1330 at 12x12x10cm, and two SB-2330 sizes at 12x12x14cm and 12x12x16cm.

How do I choose between the models?
Compare the listed dimensions with the space available in your tank. The SB-933 Mini is the most compact at 5x5x12cm. Because the SB-2330 code is listed for two heights, check the dimensions as well as the model code when choosing.
