Giant Coarse Sponge Filter
$99.99
- Heavyweight Sponge Filter Champion of the World
- Own The Biggest Sponge Filter in Your Fish Club
- Great Conversation Starter with your Fish Friends
- Fully Functional
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. Our Giant Coarse Sponge Filter is a fully functional filter that may be used in a giant aquarium or pond, but we really designed this for fun and as a conversation piece. You may attach an air stone and airline tubing to this filter and connect it to an air pump, or simply display this giant filter on a shelf next to your aquarium.
Additional Supplies Needed
The Giant Coarse Sponge Filter is made for display, but is fully functional, should you choose. It does not produce air on its own, so you also need to buy the following components to run the sponge filter:
— Air pump
— Airline tubing
— Check valve (to prevent water from pouring out of the tank when the power is off)
Dimensions: 26.5 Inches tall by 13.5 Wide. (approximately, sponge thickness isn't exact and height depends on how screwed down the top is)
Pore Size: 25ppi (different manufacturers rate porosity slightly different as it's an approximation)
Cleaning Instructions: While this filter is functional, cleaning may require additional help if using the suggested bag method used on our normal-sized sponge filters. We suggest cleaning the Giant Coarse Sponge Filter with a hose outside, or in a large utility sink.

I have purchased one of these. It is in my 470 gallon pond. I must say I love it. Is it a little overkill some may say but to me I think I could use three more and I can’t wait for them to come back in stock, I love it. Thank you for the opportunity for the purchase.

I haven’t used this giant sponge filter in a tank or pond yet, so this is just a dry first impressions review, but my first impression is that it feels very well made. This thing is huge in person and definitely looks bigger than the photos make it seem.
The plastic feels thick and durable, and I didn’t find any sharp edges, burrs, or rough spots anywhere. The uplift tube fits snugly with no wobble at all, but it still comes apart easily with a twist, which makes it feel well designed instead of overly tight or sloppy. The tolerances overall seem really well manufactured.
The weighted base is extremely heavy, which makes the whole filter feel premium and overbuilt in a good way. The sponge also looks cleanly and uniformly cut, not uneven or cheap. Overall, it gives a much more substantial impression than a normal sponge filter.
For size, I measured the uplift tube at 11 3/4 inches long and 1 7/8 inches in diameter. The sponge itself is 12 1/8 inches tall and 13 7/8 inches in diameter. The height of the base and sponge body without the uplift tube is 15 3/4 inches, and total overall height is 26 1/2 inches. The weighted base diameter is 6 1/4 inches.
Overall, my first impression is that this is a premium, oversized sponge filter that feels built better than I expected. It honestly seems a little overbuilt, which I actually like. Even without running it yet, it feels like a quality piece.

Responsible use of money; no. Fishroom must have; yes! You are not a true ‘fish nerd’ until you have this ridiculous thing. I laughed when I opened the shipping box. I am so glad I jumped on this. It is like seeing that giant toothbrush at your dentist’s office. The product packaging sends it over the top. Pictured in front of 40 breeders and 15 gallon tanks. Cannot wait to see what you come up with next!

This thing is Massive!! I knew it was going to be big but this sponge filter feels like the ultimate fish trophy. It cant fit in a 5 gallon bucket. My cat can stand on it. I am so happy with it and impressed by the sheer size! If you like collecting dun fishy things, you gotta buy this one! Take a look at these pictures next to my 40 gallon tanks and cat!

Must have... if you're a crazy fish person.
Obviously this is a statement piece, not for function.
However, the construction is excellent and if you needed a sponge filter for a large tank for some reason - this will get the job done!
If you're a real fish nerd, buy it!

I feel like I have waited all my life for something this beautiful.

It’s so amazing. I put it up on my desk as a statement piece

I bought 2 of these giant sponge filters as extra filtration in my 1200 gallon hospital/quarantine ponds. They work great and are very large. I added 3 gallon containers above them with K1 media to really make it top notch

It's perfect for my office. Can't wait for the easy flow upgrade
