Hi, would like to find out where I can buy the black cylinder sponge used in Eden 501. Thanks.

Saw them in C328 before.

Thanks, Surf3r. Anyone saw it at LFS nearer to the central. Saw 1 that is quite similar to the one used by Eden501 at NA but the quality is not that good.

If u have a budget of lets say $5-$10. You can buy sponge filters that is of the correct size, maybe can squeeze a little into the canister if its a little big. Just remove them from the bubble filter and use it on your eden 501. The quality of most sponge filters are very good and effective for mechanical filtration as its very fine. But the downside is that the flowrate will definately be reduced and be even slower if it is clogged.

saw some in Yishun blk 618.
Alternatively u can just buy sponge, cut and stuff it in.

I suggest getting a fine filter sponge. I think wool would be too fine and i'm pretty sure it will clog up easily and the flow rate will be severely affected. Given already that the Eden501 has a very slow flow rate in begin with
