There is a reason why the best sponge filters are coarse: to allow the water flow thru it while avoiding clogging. And small critters getting sucked in.
Have you actually had any "small critters" get sucked into one of your sponge filters? That would take some hellacious flow, not to mention some obnoxiously large hole in the sponge, like 2-3 PPI.
You would need tobe aware too that not always cheap is best. You would need to consider the introduction of micro plastics into your water table and its long term effects, which i believe would be harmful
If you're really worried about the leaching of microplastics then I'd suggest not to use anything made from plastics in your tank. I'd be much more worried about the leaching of any remnant hydrogen sulfide off of that PVC that was produced when creating the holes using that wood burning tool.
@@D0ITYOURSELFYou can buy the pond size like the first one shown for under $3 on line. And if you want to increase the usefulness of it replace the riser tube with a one inch pvc tube cut off below the surface of the tank far enough to mount a power head on it. Now instead of pulling in fifty or so gallons an hour you can move 200 to 400 gallons per hour.
