Thanks, what filter sponge should i ask for and how do i go about putting it in my filter? do i need to take one of mine out or just try and fit it in? can it just lay in the tank or not?

Thanks for getting back so quick, which of the sponges do i want from his filter and how do i go about putting it in my filter?? Sorry if this sounds silly but i'm not sure as my bioflow super filter that came with my tank has a white filter to stops the big stuff, a carbon filter, a nitrogen...
