Product Information
Full details
The SuperFish Bio Air Filter Large is an ideal filtration solution for aquarium hobbyists managing tanks up to 100 litres, particularly those keeping fry or shrimp. It excels by providing a dual-action approach—combining mechanical debris removal with biological media compartments to maintain a stable ecosystem. While it offers a compact and safe design for delicate aquatic life, users should be aware that an external air pump is required for operation and must be purchased separately.

FAQs
Do I need an air pump for this filter?
Yes, this filter is air-powered and requires an external air pump, which is sold separately.
Is this filter safe for cherry shrimp?
Yes, the fine sponge material is perfectly safe for shrimp and will not harm them.
How often should I replace the sponges?
You only need to replace them if they start to degrade or lose their shape. Regular rinsing in tank water will keep them functional for a long time.
Can this filter be used in saltwater tanks?
While primarily designed for freshwater, the materials are generally safe for saltwater; however, its biological capacity is optimized for smaller freshwater setups.
What is the maximum tank size for this filter?
The filter is rated for aquariums up to 100 litres.
Troubleshooting
The filter is producing very few bubbles
Check that the airline tubing is not kinked and verify that your external air pump is set to the correct flow setting.
Water clarity is decreasing
The sponges may be clogged. Remove them and rinse them in used tank water to restore proper flow.
The filter keeps floating to the surface
Ensure that the filter is fully submerged and that air is not trapped inside the housing; squeeze the sponge while underwater to release trapped air.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely gentle water flow ideal for fry and shrimp
- Effective dual-layer filtration system
- Space-saving compact design
- Easy to disassemble and clean
Cons
- Requires a separate air pump purchase
- Not suitable for tanks larger than 100 litres
- Air pump noise depends on the quality of the pump used
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your filter, connect a standard airline tube from your external air pump to the air inlet on the filter. Submerge the unit entirely in your aquarium; ensure it is upright to maximize the airlift effect. For maintenance, rinse the sponges in a bucket of tank water during your regular water change. Avoid using tap water to clean the sponges, as the chlorine will kill the beneficial bacteria living inside. Inspect the biological media compartments monthly to ensure they are not clogged with debris. If you find the flow rate decreasing, simply give the sponge a gentle squeeze in removed tank water to clear out trapped particulate matter.
