I also got fed up with the sponge, it would quickly fill up with detritus. I just pulled the sponge out and have been running without a sponge for 2 months. Very few microbubbles in the tank. You just need to play with the "dial" on the bottom of the tube until you get the right setting.

Now i only give it a quick wipe once a month instead of a serious cleaning every week.
