## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this the same sponge that comes with the Marina Slim Filter?**
A: Yes it is. and works just as well...... I've bought several and rotate them after cleaning it real good........  hope this helped...

**Q: Would this sponge be big enough to fit on the intake of an aquaclear 70 filter?**
A: No because the AquaClear 70 tube is wider and the intake slits are longer than the Aquaclear 20/50 tubes which I have used this filter for.   Only draw back is that it is a little loose and closed on the bottom.   I cut a tiny slit in the bottom and push that end up onto the intake tube. It then fits snuggly and is the perfect length.  But what I DO like, and the reason I keep buying them, is because they are coarse and don't get clogged.  I have snail only tanks and there is a ton of biofilm, so the finer filters clog too easily.

**Q: hole diameter?**
A: Don't understand question..... hole diameter for what, be more specific please.....

**Q: Can a bettas tail get snagged on the strainer sponge my betta has a hole in his tail**
A: not really,  but if your filter is too powerful or to close to the tank wall in may get caught.
