Try Drs. Foster Smith #CD-902227 $3.99 -- "for Tetra Super Brilliant Filter and PHAS"

After reading about this I searched a bit, fortunately wrote the info in my "want list" in the back of my aquarium journal.

I thought I had found that recently. A check just a moment ago on the Drs. Foster & Smith web site reveals that has been discontinued. Too bad... it was the perfect size.

I'm guessing the others I listed above would do the trick, too. They look pretty much identical. Next order I place, I'll get one. They're only 3 or 4 bucks, so no big loss if they don't work.

Well, I ended up buying a sponge for an Aquaclear 500 filter and cutting it in quarters. Then I cut a hole down the middle that was slightly smaller than the intake strainer and shoved it on. It stuck on and is working great! Even after just 24 hours it had already caught a lot of junk. Anyway thanks for the tip!
