  1. Co-op sponge filters are good.  I use one off Amazon because I wanted a finer sponge.   I can't remember the brand and I don't think it matters.

    As far as the uneven air, air will follow the path of least resistance.  The stones might have some variations in manufacturing, the air tubing different lengths.....

    If you want even air flow, get a air control manifold that allows adjustment of each airline, or a air flow valve on each line. 

    Happy aquariuming

  2. I have a 55 gallon tank currently being filtered by a fine sponge filter powered by a powerhead.  I am going to switch to air powered due to lower flow for fry.  I have always used Whisper air pumps but willing to switch brands.   The pump will power the sponge filter and an air stone.  Looking for dependable quiet pump.  What would you recommend?

    You don't prefer to have the finer sponge inside the filter? Just curious. 

    Good point.  Right now I have the course sponge and purigen in my backfilter. The course sponge dosen't filter anything, it's just biological.  I might try it your way, I'm not stubborn.   🙂

  4. I like the very fine pre-filters even though they clog quicker.  They need to be washed each week or they stop the flow to my aquaclear filter.  The fact they get clogged mean they are filtering better.  

    Your opinion?
