Sponge filters offer reliability and hassle-free operation. With no moving parts, all you need is an air pump with some airline tubing, and you've got a filter that is fully contained within your aquarium.  Sponge filters are completely reusable, don't need any replacement cartridges, and last for several years. Plus, they are gentle enough for betta fish, baby fry, shrimp, and other slow-moving species. Trusted by fish farms and wholesalers, they are an excellent choice for aquarium filtration that you can set and forget.

1

Increase Circulation in Your Aquarium

The Easy Flow Sponge Filter creates a directional current in your aquarium. This is good for delivering nutrients to plants and sweeping debris back to the filter. It also benefits fish by giving them something to swim against.

2

Adjustable Height for Different Tank Sizes

The Easy Flow curved uplift tube has an adjustable height, allowing you to use it for both small and big tanks. Use our sizing chart to find the perfect sponge filter for your aquarium. Ideally, the tube opening should sit 1/3 out of the water and 2/3 in the water.

3

No Air Stone Needed

Our air collar replaces the need for an air stone. Uniform bubbles with the airline tubing on the outside delivers better even flow, which increases the flow rate and reduces noise. No more glug, glug, glug sound. Use a small pipe brush or toothbrush to clean the collar during monthly maintenance.

4

Extra Heavy Base

Our extra heavy weighted base helps the sponge filter sinks right away. Give the sponge a squeeze when you put it in the water to remove any extra air. The heavy base also helps it stay in place when fish might try and move it.

5

Cleaning Is Easy

We recommend cleaning your sponge filter once a month. Removing the debris from the sponge ensures it won't clog up unexpectedly. While our sponge filters can often go many months between service, it's a best practice to service monthly. Also, clean the air collar with a small pipe brush or toothbrush to remove any debris buildup.

Bonus Tip: Pour the brown water on your houseplants to make them very happy.

I'm all in on these sponge filters. I've bought several. A nano, a small, 4 mediums and I'm planning 2 large for a new tank addition. We house a variety of aquatic life from a trio of 6" irridescent sharks to colonies of breeding Neocaridina shrimp and these are the best filters we've used. Quick, easy and quiet setup. Doubles as filtration and aeration all in one. These filters are a must have for any aquarium owner.

This sponge filter works great in my 20 gallon long tank. This is my first tank. As I expand to a larger tank, I will purchase more.

Love these filters I would give it a 5 star but the easy flow collar needs to be maintain often because the flow will slow down dramatically

Always amazing!

Since 2021 if I’m setting up a tank no matter if I’m using a fluval canister or a HOB I’ll always have a sponge from this company in my tank!

Fantastic Filter — Simple, Reliable, and Highly Effective

The Green Easy Flow Sponge Filter (coarse) has been an outstanding addition to my aquarium setup. The build quality is excellent, and the coarse sponge strikes the perfect balance between strong filtration and easy maintenance. Water clarity improved noticeably within a short time, and the fish seem to appreciate the gentle, consistent flow.

What I love most is how quiet and efficient it is. It just works, day in and day out, without any fuss. Cleaning is quick, the materials feel durable, and it’s clear this was designed by people who genuinely understand the needs of hobbyists.

If you're looking for a dependable, low-maintenance filter that delivers great results, this one is an easy recommendation. Aquarium Co‑Op continues to impress with thoughtful, high‑quality products.

Works and pleased. Just wish the top tub was more of a 90 angle then what given. Maybe the company can have that as an add on in the future.

Looks good!

The dark color disappears into the tank, and otherwise it is the same ACO sponge filter, which is a little workhorse. And the fish love it!

The AC fine sponge filter is the only sponge filter I will buy. I love how well it filters. It’s like a second home for my neocaradina shrimp and is my biofilm generator. I love how the fine sponge filters extremely well. It’s perfectly gentle for shrimp and Betta fish. It is able to output water very well. I have one warning, to successfully drive this filter to its easy flow potential, you need at least a 3W air pump. I was trying to drive it with a 2W USB pump, I would get small surges and not a consistent stream of water from the top. Mine is a special case because I like the top of the spout to be above the water level. Now, if you keep the spout below the water level, you won’t run to this issue. Exceptional quality and heavy duty, none my aquariums will be left without one.

Course texture sponge filter

The course open texture allows for more effective cleaning of the debris out of the sponge. ones that are more dense are hard to get them clean or at least get them to look clean. I double stacked that way you can put two of them together in one corner of the tank and hide them with tall plants. great product!

Ok at first, but i’m irritated.

I’ve owned 2 aquarium co-op sponge filters for 2 years and there are goods and bads.
First the bad:
-The “air collar” holes get clogged and is IMPOSSIBLE to clean. I have used needles, soaks, and brushes. It will not blow bubbles like it used to, basically making it useless. Even on the highest setting of the “Aquarium Co-Op Air Pump” it won’t blow more than a measly stream, making this filter trash after 2 years, here I am hunting for another small and silent filter questioning my aquarium hobby interests because i’m tired of the money sinkhole of throwing away items that should last longer.
-This FILTER AND AIR PUMP ARE NOT THAT QUIET. I turn it off EVERY night because it’s too loud in my room to sleep. And then sometimes it won’t stay off because of the battery backup setting in case of power outages. I’ll turn it off sometimes 4 times a night, because it keeps turning back on. Of course everyone has their own opinions of loud, and i’ve used other sponge filters and air pumps to compare to aquarium co-op. So far co-op is less noisy than the popular brands, but still not good enough ESPECIALLY since it doesn’t EVEN WORK ANYMORE!!

Now the good-
I like the course sponge. It is easy to clean and use and transfer. That’s pretty much it.

Seriously i’m sick of buying filters that break. One star because of that.
