I use FilterMax sponges for most prefilters theses days, as their connector assorment included in the box mate with most of my applications. FilterMaxI is the finest, and what i would (and have) used for fine sand.

Ok, so once the sponge it on, can I restart the filter??? How long or how cloudy can the water be before I restart the filter?

There is a kit for a sponge that goes over powerheads.

Quick question- Could I retrofit a sponge to put over the intake of my Aquaclear or would that hurt the filter somehow?

Oh.. Lol. I didn't know that!
Cool. That will make things easier when I convert my F8 tank to sand.
