Can i get sponge filters that i can mount on the glass at the back of the tank? instead of the ones that sit at the bottom of the tank. This is for a 90 gal tank.

They are fine pore like the original Hydrosponge. There is a fairly new type of Hydrosponge, the Pro version. The Hydro Pros are more sturdy but the pore size is larger than the original type.

For the ones in the links above? The lift tube is narrow so you would have to do some DIY to get to attach. I beleive a simple airline would be best for them.

I use a lot of these. Over time, the suction cups are going to harden and it doesn't stick to the glass very well. I now use them in small tanks, but go to double stack Hydros in 40 gals and up.
