Thats a good idea Bill. I usually stuff the bottom with filter floss...Bill
I know sponges are cheap,but why buy a new one if you can fix the old one.Also Im on winter lay-off,so if I don't have to spend a buck,I wont.I haven't seen this addressed before,so if it has,my bad.I was getting tired of some of my older sponges slidding down their frames during water changes.

I figure I needed something to hold it up,so I took the lid of an old container that was getting thrown away anyway.

Took a hole saw for a drill and cut it.

Also drilled some holes in the perimeter.

And fixed.

Bill, great idea! When times get rough, it's time to be creative. Thanks for posting the "how-to" photos.

Great idea, thanks. Now, does anyone have any idea how to fix *** when the inner 'cage' splits, and doesn't want to hold the next component anymore? I have been using elastic bands, wrapped around the cage a few times, but they deteriorate pretty quickly.

Thanks,Al.I had been switching over to the coaser "pro" sponges,which this dosent seem to happen to,yet.But I like the regular ones in fry.juvie tanks because they graze off them.Just threw a cage part out,didnt think of the zip-tie.I may have to got thru the bag and give it a shot.
