Ideal for small aquariums designed for breeding fish or raising fry-the functional "click together" nozzle can be used to connect the Eheim compressor ( the compressor is not included in the kit) - A fine-pored sponge provides high-quality filtration and eliminates fish entering the nozzle - Can be used as a pre-filter when used with external Eheim filters. The principle of operation of the air lift filter - air is supplied through the tube to a depth, sprayed, air bubbles rise up together with water, which is why water is sucked through the filter tube. In this way, the water in the aquarium was filtered before using water pumps.
