How many or you use sponge filters?

ive got a sponge filter hooked to a powerhead in my shrimp tank as well as one in my 75gallon... however that one is just there for water movement.. bt i figured if im going to have a powerhead going it might as well have some sort of filter on it...

For hatchery setups, retail etc work good. Displays can work & help in filtering but need to hide. I always say to over filter a tank is better, but more then 90% of the time a external air pump would go back on after a power outage as oppose to other filters. So if you are away for the weekend at least the fish will live! Even if you at least ad a air stone or bubbler of some sort is good plus it can cause a under current & help with less dead spots?

my 2 cents.

I swear by them. I firmly beleive in the 'diversity' approach to filtration. The more methods the better!

I only use them in fry tanks or for any other reason why i would need a tank with no current they just seem like a waste of tank space

I don't have any up and running but I would love to try them out sometime, BUT they are hard to find here in my area.

I use 'em. They rock. Easy to maintain, very cheap.

I used one on a 10g egg hatching tank

I use them as extra mechanical filtration on my powerheads in my main tank.
