Hugh H., Erie, PA. “Stephan, I just wanted to thank you for your service. I recently bought some Poret foam and have put it in my bare 15’s and it seems to be doing very well. I am especially pleased with the Jetlifters. They really move an amazing amount of water. I was going to make my own, but I am sure I wouldn’t get the volume. You have a great product. I will be ordering more in the future as my fish room starts to grow a little. Thanks for your time and patience with my questions. It was never a question of price with me, just value and I think it was worth it.”

James W, Verona, WI. “I setup a 10, 20, 30 ppi Poret sump in the horizontal orientation as suggested by Stephan. It has not needed cleaning in 5+ years, it sheds mulm that settles and I periodically vacuum that out when I do a water change. It is a wonderful, simple, and maintenance-free filter.”

Frank Greco, Frank’s Aquarium in Lindenhurst, NY. “Installing the Poret® filters was the best thing I could have done for my business! Within a day there was a great improvement in water clarity, and the time I spend on maintenance has been reduced dramatically. In tanks where I am using the Hamburg Mattenfilter (HMF), detritus collects behind the sponge, making it easy to remove. And the cube filters are just easy: a quick squeeze or two in a bucket of tank water and they are back in action. These sponges have been in use for over four years, and I have not noticed any degradation of the foam material, unlike with some of the other sponges I’ve used in the past.”
