The problem is the pores seem larger and they fall apart after a few months...which concerns me as that means they are breaking down...not something I want in my water.
For a while big als online sold a blue sponge replacement under their name ..havent seen them in years there. Swiss tropicals poret foam is great but I really want it cut to size... Lame I know.I could easily cut it myself..
Anyone have a source of good quality foam replacements for the aquaclears? I run about 20 of them as well as the Aquaclear 50 and use the sponges as prefilters also.
thanks,
