this seems the easest:
"I buy cheap sponges from the LPS or LFS, large rectangles or cylinders, doesn't really matter as long as it's got enough body. Then cut out part of the sponge, enough to nestle an airstone in it without too much of the airstone sticking out. Then jab an exacto knife through the middle of the sponge, making a channel, of sorts, through which I stick airline tubing. Stick the airstone on the end of the airline tubing and voila, you have a sponge filter."

I will try it out possibly tomorrow, sounds really easy
Plus my betta is struggling with the extra flow from it (just have an airstone on atm)
