What type of filter is this?
I saw one today which is sort of like a sponge filter, you put it underwater and attatch an air pump to it. The diagram showed it attatches the same way but it was in japanese and it’s like a little plastic enclosure with some sort of replacable filter media inside it, which probably works the same way as the sponge does. I just need to know what they are called so i can look them up on the net and find out more about them…

Oh… Are they more effective than sponge filters of the same size?
It’s just like the old box filters driven by an air pump. This one simply has a more contemporary shape & is meant for small tanks. There’s a small internal airstone that’ll create bubbles that rise from the funnel on top. As you can see from the replacement media, the outside is filter wool with probably an inner carbon sponge.

It looks like just a regular in water filter. (Like the old ones, just updated). Hope this helps.

It’s just your ordinary corner sponge filter. I have a similarly dome-shaped one from Petcetera. Supposed to be good for fry tanks. The replaceable filter media is the sponge shaped to fit the design.
That’s all!
