Black Sponge?

[mistahoo]

Where could I get some large square shaped black sponges for cheap? I'm talking under $5. I checked the walmart near me and they don't carry even the rounded peanut-shaped sponges you use for cars, just the sponges for washing dishes. I know Lowe's carries a yellow sponge, but I'd like to get a black one.

Why not just dye it black? Rit dye should do the trick

Didn't know. Is it aquarium safe and where could I find some? How much does it cost?

Yeah, it's safe. Walmart has it for a couple of bucks per package. It's worth a shot. You have to put the dye powder into some water and bring it to a simmer and then let the item being dyed sit in it for about 10 - 15 minutes then take it out and rinse the excess off with cold water.

It won't clog the sponge would it?

its used to dye clothing, my girl has done it before and i didnt notice it clogging material. city pets sells coarse prefilter sponge in black. its pretty cheap for a 12 x 12 sheet thats maybe a 1/2" thick

Re: Black Sponge?

I saw the prefilter sponges and sponge sheets. They're too small though. I'm trying to make some huge homemade sponges for my hatchery tank
