its the bald guy in action. i had an epiphany as i was walking threw big lots. i have a guppy breeder tank that the babys love to get sucked into the hob tube. so to fix it i threw a rubber band and a bio media bag over the intake. was looking for a nice prefilter sponge but didnt want to pay a ridicules price. and then i saw it. and its 3 bucks and it will do plenty.

Expense vs convenience for me, I need coarse prefilters on multiple tanks to keep the Najas and pleco poop from clogging the intakes. It got annoying having to take them off and rinse them every few days...
