Those are all air pumps, not filters...
Yep! I was asking if the air pump will be working fine with the sponger and if the sponger will be working as fine as it would work in a 60 gallon tank with the model of the air pump I chose. Will the air pump be fine with the sponger for 60 gallons in my 125 ltr tank?

Haven't seen that sponge filter yet, does a "60 gal" sponge filter need a higher air pressure or higher volume?

Its the only size was there and I took the bigger one which was the only one and if you scroll down you will see that it is for 60 gallon tanks, 270ltr tanks. Please tell me if the air pump model I bought will be compatible with the size of the sponger:

This is a very simple contraption... yes it will work with that air pump. It just has a bigger sponge. However, take the "60 gal(UK) /275 liter" with some grains of salt, that is a "Chinese estimate"
It is just 6"x2", and they don't state if that includes the tube. Divide their estimate by 3, and you're closer.

I thought it was a really big one, lol

My estimate is that this "60 gal" sponge is about the same size as the sponge filters for 10 gal tanks.
The other sponge filters on that pic are just really really small.

So you think that the "60 gal" is not a sponge for 60 gallons?
It is clearly 2" wide and 5" tall?
