Generic Course Sponge for Canister Filter
Hello again,
I ended up purchasing that used Penn Plax 1200 canister filter, and it has no media in it and am in the process of sourcing media. Not 100% sure what media I want in here, but mimicking my HOB filter, I'd assume I want course sponge (physical), and bio media. Ceramic rings are easy enough, but I've always purchased sponges specific to the filter. IN this case, I'm finding them for $5-$7 bucks online + shipping = Can I use any generic sponges that are much cheaper that I can cut to fit into the filter? My initial searching the internet hasn't produced anything useful yet. Thanks!

Re: Generic Course Sponge for Canister Filter
Aquaclear has some decent sponges you can cut to size, it might take a couple of pieces to fill in, but it works pretty good.
