Aquarium/Pond Answers recommends this article: www.sponge-filter.com/2019/09/aquarium-sponge-filter-made-in-usa-or.htmlExcerpt: "With many now jumping on the bandwagon of attempting to usurp the AAP/ATI Hydro Sponge Filter patent, the first question a potential buyer needs to ask is why purchase a knock off product made in China (even if sold under a USA name).
As well, while the basics of the patent design have been copied pretty much accurately, the sponge material is not the same and has much lower capacity, so in the end, you still get an inferior product!" |

Anybody that knows sponge filters can see that sponge is WAY too coarse for good biofiltration... Yup, just good for the people that don't know any better. Carl has been recommending the combos, which have the coarse and the fine for the best of all filtration. |

Coarse sponges make the best mechanical filters IMO. They clog less, are easier to clean, and last much longer that other filter media. A good filter, for me, has a coarse sponge AND a fine sponge.

Unfortunately many are lemmings following the popular YouTuber with little professional experience or mentoring right off the cliff who is recommending and selling the junk in the picture Carl |

Interesting that I just had someone argue with me on Facebook as Hydro Sponge being actually made in USA and making excuse after excuse defending patent infringing lower quality Chinese products. I guess the MSM and their constant defending of China is working for some people with little discernment. China is NOT our friend and is NOT an honest nation and IMO we should avoid purchases of Chinese products when ever possible (admittedly often it is not possible though) Carl www.sponge-filter.com/2019/09/aquarium-sponge-filter-made-in-usa-or.html |
