Title: Hydro sponges - where to get just the sponges?
Post by: KLKelly on March 17, 2008, 09:03:44 PM
I have everything but the sponge.  I had used it for a qt tank and just through the sponge out after medication was complete.  Is there a place where you can buy just the sponges?  Big Al's didn't have any and the person has never recalled seeing just the sponges for sale.
Thanks.
Karrie.

I bought BA's blue sponge block and cored it out to make my own replacement. I feel the Blue foam is a better quallity sponge. It is also very easy to work with. I use it for all my sponges and intake covers now.

Check out MOPS too.

I like the hydro sponge filters. There prices on replacement filters is good. Shipping is cheap.

They have the replacements at Fishtail also.  Just call them to find out what sizes they currently have (I saw them this weekend), and if it's not your size, they can order it in for you.
