My father said it's required to have a sponge on the intake of my maxi-jet, or the creatures in my SW take will get into it and die.
Do I need this?

Sponge Required on Intake of Maxi-Jet (powerhead)
- Thread starter mademperor
- Start date
My MaxiJets came with two different types of plastic filter type things that go over the intake...if one of those are in place I wouldn't think a sponge would be necessary.
Hope this helps!

It depends what you are stocking in the tank. A fish will typically be fine. An anemone might not be.
If you choose to use the sponge though make sure you stay on top of cleaning it as it can turn into a nitrate factory with waste and food particle build up. But like stated above it isn't needed but something should be placed between the livestock and the spinning hardware.
