I was a believer too until we lost an aquarium full of fish to a sponge.  I 
mean, "back in the day" it wasn't any problem to scrub down the walls of an 
aquarium with a sponge.  Now it is.  According to Snopes, at least at that 
time, don't know if they've changed it, they said that it was an urban 
legend that sponges kill fish.  Well, I called 3M and they said "yupe, we 
even have it on the label."  I checked with them again not too long ago and 
it is still the same.  "Do not use in an aquarium."  Well, me thinks "I" 
don't want to use the sponges either if they are treated with something that 
will kill fish!
