That interesting device. From looking at it and general little detail, I
reckon it is best not to use in Reef tank [IMO]. This is just like a
mechanical filter with sponge. This is unnecessary accessories. Why not just
use a power/water pump or rotating kind. Hydro BIOFlo will be good in FW.

I do not like the sponge, it look ugly.

Sponge attachment is typical nitrification thingy, like wet-dry wheels
on Emperor 400 filter... I did not recommend this for sal****er, I just
pointed out it looks funny, thats all. I would try this rotary plastic
attachment only on my Maxi-Jet 1200. Right now pump is inside the tank
and it is pumping water stright - with the attachment it would be more
variable flow, probably better in a reef tank. I wish it would be smaller.
