fluval prefilter sponge

It stopped up again.... had took it out of my ten and boiled it and put it in the sun then cleaned it again. Had just checked it the other day and it was still flowing

woke up to this....

Sorry for your loss.


If you are going to use a pre-filter sponge like that... I'd suggest rinsing it with every water change to keep this from happening again.

When I had it in my ten I was cleaning it every few days.... I thought it was mostly the filter it was on.
