Hi, if I would use air pump for 30/50 ltr tanks for 60 gallon tanks. Would the filter still work like it would work for 60 gallon tanks with the low frequency air pump?

 
A sponge filter for a 60 gallon (225 liter) tank? Is that 6 times the size of one for a 10 gallon, or just an arbitrary number?
Larger tanks are deeper, there is a limit to how much water a pump can move, can't really say without seeing the filter, pump and tank.
 
Be more specific if you want an answer... do you have a picture of it? What is the height of that tank?
 
Dimension of my 125 ltr are 80x35x45cm.

This is the pump:

You would have to scroll down and look for model HD-550 and tell me if the sponger would work in full 60gallons and if it would work well.

 
I meant the filter. You have a tall tank?
Yes I would say it will work fine, the pressure is stated as 0,014mpa, this barely differs in their models except for the 2 largest.

Oh, thanks. The filter will work as fine as it would for 60 gallons then? So I don't need to get a bigger air pump?
 
Can you post the link for that sponge filter?
There:

But make sure you look for model named HD-550, that is the one I bought.
