duckweed getting sucked into filter intake

[Winterose]

would any kinda sponge work?

As long as it's a sponge with large pores, like the one that FTM posted, then yes it will work. Finer sponges clog too quickly.

Can you try to move your intake lower into the tank?

:iagree:

Plus you may end up restricting flow if the pores are too small. That's happened to me with my RUGF.
