If you are an Aussie where can I get one please. came across this prefilter sponge it looks very course and with weekly cleaning I dont think it would effect with my Eheim Pro11 Canister filter, it would also stop the BN fry getting into the canister.

They sell replacement ones for just a couple of dollars. That might be something you can try. if you do you will have to cut an opening in it for the intake. ![]() ![]() My Tanks at Photobucket |

I agree with FKJ, looks like the sponge that comes inside the Aquaclear. I don't know enough about canisters to say anything in that respect, though. -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian. |

The true test of character is not how much we know how to do, but how we behave when we dont know what to do. |

Fine the black filter material generally used in wet/dry systems, most LFS will carry it. take it and soak it with water and freeze it, than take a drill but that is close to size of your filter screen and drill it out while it froozen, this will give a nice neat hole. Than let it thaw out and slide it over the filter screen. I used this myself and it works great and cost almost nothing to make. Djrichie "So Long, and Thanks For All The Fish" Douglas Adams ![]() |

(I run 2 sponges, when I replace one I save it, makes about 3 pre-filters for my 40 and 2 for the 10g) Cut to desired size, take a knife and cut an X in the middle, slide over your intake ![]() ![]() The Amazon Nut... |
