I think we may have sent you an email about this.

We are actively seeking an alternate source for these sponge filters as they are regarded as one of the best in the aquarium hobby.

We just recently had one sent in from the U.S. for a customer, however we would need to gauge interest prior to obtaining more.

Some shops may have some in stock, however from what we have been told it was almost 2 years ago that the last shipment was recieved in Australia of these sponge filters.

What does it look like? Are there difference sizes?

Any pics or links?

They are much larger than the regular sponge filters, and the sponge is of a higher quality than most others.

Hi there,

I've also used these sponge filters and in my opinion are the best compared to the korean or taiwan or china made ones.

I'm actually after the Hydro Sponge pre-filters??? APW can you get some??? Would be interested in ordering some.

Cheers,
Clint

The image above is not a Hydro sponge.

ATI Hydro sponges have a grey base, and a lighter coloured sponge, and they are quite large

not to sure what the main advantage is but we use the heto sponges in our discus tanks and they have proven to be very effective and we have them in stock and are happy to send.
