Any kind of filter sponge that you can fit over the intake tube. I bought some 'Aquaclear' foam inserts and cut them into small blocks. I then made a slit in each one in the middle and pushed on to the end of the filter intake.
It does need to be a reasonably coarse sponge size though to let the water through, otherwise it will get blocked with gunk too quickly and you'll be forever taking it off and cleaning it.
