It efficiently removes harmful ammonia and nitrites while fostering beneficial aerobic bacteria growth to maintain crystal-clear, odor-free water. Crafted from durable poly-fiber, this bio sponge ensures long-lasting filtration performance and easy maintenance, making it an essential upgrade for any serious aquarium enthusiast. ## Description The Penn Plax Cascade 1200/1500 GPH Canister Filter Aquarium Bio Sponge keeps the water in your aquarium clean and clear. This Cascade filter sponge removes ammonia and nitrites from the water keeping your fish tank healthy; clean; and odor free. This bio sponge also optimizes the colonization of beneficial aerobic bacteria which prevents cloudy water and excess CO2 which can harm. Made specifically to fit the Cascade 1200 Standard and Elite Canister Aquarium Canister Filters; this replacement bio sponge fits securely without gaps that lead to weaknesses in filtration strength. An exact fit keeps debris and contaminants from getting through your filtration system and back into water. Made of a durable poly-fiber; this bio sponge filter is made to last for several months under normal conditions. When used together; the Cascade 1200 Filter Model CCF4UL / Cascade 1500 Filter Model CCF5UL and Cascade 1200 filter cartridges provide maximum protection against water pollutants from harming your fish. Review: Good product, be aware it is sold individually - Just an FYI, each package only contains 1 sponge (filter floss comes in a 6 pack). . . This perfectly fits the trays inside the cascade 1200 and 1500 canister filters. The sponge is quite coarse and will catch the biggest debris particles. However you'll want a tray or two loaded with filter floss to polish the water. As for maintenance of the bio-sponge, there's really no reason to replace this product any sooner than once a year. To clean it: pour the old canister water into a bucket, then take and wring out this "biosponge" in there. Wash it off using the old aquarium water and once it's fairly clean, put the sponge right back into the filter. Don't use city tap water to wash this because the chlorine will kill the beneficial denitrifying bacteria. I say 5 stars out of 5 because it perfectly fits the filter tray, the price isn't outrageous, and it will last a really long time. Review: Your fish tank needs this! - Easy to clean.

Long lasting ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Using it for stock tank! *by C***2 on August 20, 2020* With above ground pool pumps/filters sold out everywhere this Covid-19 summer, we got the Penn Plax Cascade 1500 filter pump for our 300 gallon stock tank that we use to cool off in. It arrived in two days at a great price and works like a charm to keep the water in the stock tank crystal clear (we cover the tank at night and also use a floater with small chlorine tablets). The pump is near silent and performs way better for our make-do little above ground pool than we ever expected, though it was designed for aquariums and not pools. ## Frequently Bought Together - Penn-Plax Cascade 1200/1500 GPH Canister Filter Aquarium Bio Sponge Replacement; 1 Pack - Penn-Plax Cascade Bio-Floss Replacement Poly Fiber Floss Pads for Cascade 1200 & 1500 Canister Aquarium Filters – 6 Pack, White (CCF331) - Penn-Plax Cascade 8 Oz Pro-C Mixed Aquarium Canister Filter Media Bag – 2-Pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/8431488-penn-plax-cascade-1200-1500-gph-canister-filter-aquarium-bio](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/8431488-penn-plax-cascade-1200-1500-gph-canister-filter-aquarium-bio) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-08-11*
