Nah, I only use the sponge (which just happens to come with the kit) shoved onto an aqua clear. I can't find the exact same sponge sold separately, but I'd love to find out if they are. But it's only $6 anyway
@glabe try the fluval edge pre-filter sponge. My local "pet supplies plus" keeps them on the shelf. I believe petland has them al well. They are cut to fit perfectly over the intake of the aquaclear filters. Any fluval aquaclear dealer should be able to get them for you.
@fishfanman. RUGF it is indeed a reverse flow under ground filter. Fish only tank can benefit fromthe increased oxygen moving through the gravel.

Effing shoot, man. I was so excited, I was seeing what wasn't even in the description. I'll just try it without the strainer I guess, and order/jimmy one if it doesn't work.

Hmmm... I have a marineland canister laying around somewhere. .. I'll find it when I get home and check the intake strainer for size
And I have that same problem, authmal, but it lasts about a week before it sucks in too much. It's also close to needing replaced, but it's lasted almost a year.
I don't think I've ever seen a strainer on a cannister filter that would be appropriate, they just aren't long enough.
In all my years, I've never seen anything appropriate for these specific sponges than the strainers that came with the 660R powerhead or the reverse flow kits.
