How do you make one and if you have a one gallon bowl will it cycle?
Whats the pvc for?Even a small body of water will cycle if the key elements for bacterial growth are present. The issue with a tank this size in particular is lack of volume.
The balance could get upset by the smallest of changes and you'll have a wipeout.
But to answer the initial question, yes, it will.
To make a sponge filter you just need a sponge, some pvc, airline tubing, and air pump. There are a lot of articles on it with photos.l that'll help your build.
