Aqua Nova NSF-120L airlift aquarium filter
Aqua Nova NSF-120L airlift aquarium filter is a reliable and efficient tool for mechanical and biological water filtration in aquariums up to 120 liters. It connects to an air pump (compressor) and provides stable water circulation and purification.
Purpose
The Aqua Nova NSF-120L airlift filter creates optimal living conditions for fish and other aquarium inhabitants, including shrimp, thanks to its fine-pore sponge that ensures high-quality filtration.
An airlift filter is a simple yet effective device used in aquatics to create water circulation and filtration. Its core principle is generating water flow using rising air bubbles. This works on the airlift (pneumatic lift) principle. In airlift filters, water passes through a porous medium (usually a sponge), which serves as a habitat for beneficial bacteria. These bacteria break down harmful substances such as ammonia and nitrites into less harmful compounds like nitrates, which can then be absorbed by plants or removed during water changes.
Advantages
A key benefit of the airlift filter is that it provides both mechanical and biological filtration, helping keep the water clean and healthy. Thanks to its adjustable height (13.5–20 cm), the filter easily adapts to different aquarium needs.
Specifications
Connection: for 4/6 mm hose
Overall height: adjustable, 13.5–20 cm
Aqua Nova NSF-120L dimensions: width 13.5 cm, height 15 cm, depth 5 cm
Sponge dimensions: diameter 4.5 cm, height 8 cm, inner diameter 1 cm
Tips
It is important to rinse the cartridges in dechlorinated water or in aquarium water, as direct tap water may kill the beneficial bacteria living on the filter surface.
