If you find a mma & pop LFS, they will order most anything you want. Otherwise it is really simple to order off the internet.

It looks like the basic sponge filter design, something one could make at home. If it works and you didn't pay too much for it, then I think you got a good deal. I think once you get into multiple parts, special chambers, etc. then it is not necessary when you talk about sponge filters. Study hard and enjoy the shrimp :wink:

Any who, has anyone had experience with the so called "Ultimate Sponge Filter"?
They are excellent sponge filters and have features that make them long lasting, very durable, and highly effective. After comparing my new shipment of them with other sponges I have seen, I wouldn't use anything else if I wanted a sponge filter.

However, there is not much reason for a lot of debate because all sponge filters work just about the same. Choose them based on appropriate size and you will be just fine.

I am using those sponges. I have 24 of them running.
And have had no problems.
And for the Price, compared to the Hydro-Sponges.

I believe the Ultimate moves alot more water.
