« on: March 09, 2013, 11:28:00 PM »

Yeah, craft store, ebay, all kinds of places. Open reticulated foam.

The fine print on that link says "NOTE: Not for use in aquariums."  Is there a different type for aquariums?

Pondmaster makes some really good sponges for this sort of applications. I use them in my sump and really like the outcome.
