hey fishcrazy,

I remember reading about this on the forum before so I found the thread for you

On the last page Prof B mentions that he has gotten hold of the correct sponge, try sending him a PM to see if he still has.

yes, the correct sponge is the key ingredient here...

it is however a bulky option, but then thats subject to your overal tank setup and dimensions...

I actual got some sponge from Prof .. and added it to my convict tank a week or so ago ... compared to other filter that I have had on this tank - aquaclear 70 HOB & cascade 600 this filter had done a brilliant job keeping the tank water clear. I am using more or less the same l/h pump behind the hamgurg but the area that you filter through seems to be the winner. Early days - tie will tell when it comes to cleaning this filter. Yes it is big mine takes up one whole side of the tank 5cm sponge + 5 cm pump and heater. but its on the window side so it is not my way - far less than the HOB was.

I think it was Darren who was using one of these filters?
