{"product_id":"qanvee-bio-sponge-filter","title":"Qanvee QS Bio Sponge Filter","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Qanvee QS Bio Sponge Filter is a quiet, air-driven filter built for shrimp tanks, breeding setups, fry, and community tanks. It runs off an air pump rather than electricity, so the flow stays gentle and safe for the smallest livestock while still keeping water clean and well oxygenated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAs water is drawn through the sponge, it traps waste particles mechanically while the foam surface builds a dense colony of beneficial nitrifying bacteria for biological filtration. The result is clearer, healthier water and a steady supply of biofilm that shrimp love to graze on. Because sponge filters are gentle and have no intake slots, they're a favourite for breeding tanks where fry and baby shrimp need to stay safe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAn optimised air outlet grille produces a high air output with fine bubbles and low noise, and resists clogging over time. The air pipework is routed to the back of the unit for a clean look from the front, the outlet height and direction are adjustable, and the telescopic outlet tube extends from 195 mm to 275 mm to suit different tank depths. Suction cups are included to hold it firmly in place. It works in both freshwater and saltwater tanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChoosing your version\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eTwo choices: how much sponge, and whether you want the media box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eSize sets the sponge surface area. More sponge means more mechanical capacity and more biological surface for beneficial bacteria, so the larger sizes suit busier or more heavily stocked tanks, while the smaller sizes suit nano tanks, quarantine, and breeding setups. Many keepers run the smaller units as dedicated breeding or secondary filters and the larger ones as a tank's primary biological filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQS-100\u003c\/strong\u003e — 115 mm sponge on a compact 135 mm footprint.
