Re: Tetra Billi and Briliant filter suction cups

Bill, you can try a medical or chemical supply outlet for a variety of sizes
in rubber suction cups--if there's one nearby. You will
want to take in one of your billi filters (can
you still buy these in the US?) for the best
snap-on fit.

I, too, walked away from the Azoo filters but for a different reason:
whatever diffuser they use seems to get clogged up to where my vibrator
pumps  became hard pressed  to grunt out any bubbles--and I didn't want to
have to continually baptize them in diluted muriatic acid, either. Since the
Tetra filters are hard to find, I've gone with Dirt Magnets like Wright. As
to the hydro sponge filters, ever see the light gray glare out at you from a
planted tank? Yeah....
