Schoolboy Error

When you get tired of the nets and tights plugging up, try the old livebearer breeders trick. Cut a slit in the end of a sponge filter media replacement, mine came from an AC 70 filter replacement package and slip the cut sponge over the end of the inlet tube. The sponge I am talking about is this one.

When in place for about a month it looks like this.

It does not plug up easily and can add its own media surfaces to the biological filtration of your filter. I clean mine every few weeks using my gravel vacuum.
