That would do the trick. Another inexpensive place to get them is www.jehmco.com. They give discounts for quantity purchases IIRC.
I prefer elevated sponges for fry tanks(10g-20g):http://www.bigalsonline.com/BigAlsUS/ctl3684/cp19170/si1379356/cl0/lustarhydrospongefilter1.....
Get the hydro sponges with a separate airstone.I have the azoo sponges and they plug up often,thinking of altering them with my new dremel
I have noticed that the base of my azoo plugs once in a while, you have to clean them regularly. The ones that they have that hang the tank with suction cups never clog.
I do feel that they have awesome flow though (given enough air)
