So I picked up the Vertex and it works great, however one small problem is I am using the sponge filter at the top end which eventually plugs and needs to be cleaned. What is this mesh screen from Michaels you refer to?

I don't use the sponges either. However, I do use knitting mesh at the bottom. Doesn't clog as easily and allows for better flow. Just go to the knitting dept at Michael's and you'll see mesh/perforated sheets that people use to make knitting patterns. Or just ask a sales rep. That's what I did as I had no idea what knitting screen was.

No, you can't use the sponges for bio pellets. Unfortunately can't remember what they are called at Michaels. But they are round plastic mesh screens that you cut to size. I used them for both the top and bottoms.

It's called "Cross-stitching plastic canvas". It's a couple of bucks on ebay, or available at any sewing-cross-stitching supplies store. They come in different sizes and mesh sizes. You cut them to size.
