Hi OrangeC,
The simple answer is no. A sponge filter is make from inert foam which simply provides a media surface of beneficial bacteria to reside. Any filter which contains carbon will remove meds. Also other resins like purigen will also.

A sponge filter used in a breeding tank would be sponge media only but with carbon added would remove the MG or MBz?
