The suction cup thing is vaguely annoying.  Actually, I don't use the
Tetra sponges much either.  I much prefer the Hydros.  I didn't like the
dirt magnet because it was much harder to take out of the tank & clean,
and when it was IN the tank, it tended to drift around the tank.

It really is different strokes for different folks with this stuff...
