i use the green heavy duty pad in place of a reguler filter cartridge and stuff the multi colored sponges behind that.i soaked them for 24 hrs prior to using and the water was still perfectly clean no dies or debris.
 
hmm I think im gona go out and buy like 4 packs of the heavy dutie ones, than buy a bunch of the multi colored ones ( the second one on the left)
 
All of them look like they would be better for mechanical filtration rather than bio-filtration. The first is just a sponge. They are great for absorbing gunk until they clog up. Translation: you will have to take them out to clean them. The middle two look like they have sponge cores. Same problem. Take a close look to see if they have a seam on their edges. That is a sure indication that they have sponges in them. The green package looks like basic generic Scotch-brite pads. I don't know if they will load up on you.

Good bio-media should not have to be cleaned. There are dozens of pictures here of the round plastic scrubbies; They do not load up.
