“Simple to use just hook up to 4mm air line, attach extention hose, place in water than squeeze the sponge to soak up water as it will float otherwise. Place the filter in position and forget it until it needs cleaning. To clean fill a plastic bag with some tank waterto sink, leave the air pump connected and running whilst carefully lifting filter and placing into submersed plastic bag. Hold to of bag closed and lift from tank and immediately remove air line. Squeeze clean in plastic bag with tank water then remove from bag. Replace air hose and resubmerge into place in tank. Done this way you have much less mess drifting around your tank.”
