Just found another product called Sun Sorb. It's the same as a scumbug but from a different company. this one looks like a smiling sun and looks like it fits better into a skimmer. Just picked up one today...same price as scumbug
Here's a link from the company

They will also send you a free sample of the foam they make the sun sorb out of if you write them. The info is on their website here

This company seems to have a couple of cool, inexpensive 'toys'. I also just got their filter cleaning wand that attaches to a garden hose. It has a nozzle and a brush attachment. Looks like the perfect thing to clean my cartridge filter.

Will post how it works as soon as I try it out! (Thant means when I actually get motivated enough to clean the filter!)
