Is there a difference between the black and yellow sponge? Besides color, do they serve separate purposes?

The "yellow" foam is the primary "mechanical" media, the "grey" is the bio-media. Rinse the yellow but never the grey.

Black is the carbon sponge meant to remove toxins and such where the yellow sponge is just to catch debris.

Neither sponge is worth using. I recommend getting biomax media and an aqua-clear sponge. Buy the smallest sponge size, and then you can cut it to fit the filter. Under the sponge you can fit the bag of biomax media, but you may have to remove some of the ceramic pieces for it to fit in the filter compartment. Also, this is not essential but you can get a small media bag at Petsmart and buy some activated carbon to put in the bag, then stuff in the filter around the intake tube. You can only put a little carbon in, but if you want carbon, you can have it.

I think the color and the shape would be the only difference. I have both colors on different pieces and they seem to be made out of the same material.

The big round one is for your body. The small soft round is for your face with a face wash. The rock looking one is for your feet. And I am not too sure about the sponge, I'm guessing makeup?

The difference of consequence is just the color. To verify this answer, look for the word color at http://answers.tripplite.com/answers/4518-en_us/product/3980/ultrablok-questions-answers/questions.htm?sort=recentq

Nope. Actually, I think the black one is better because when you wash the black one, none of the dye comes out! In the pink one, I remember the dye always coming out which freaked me out a little. Still, the color of the sponges have never affected the way foundation looks.

The purple and blue sponges are the most comparable to the beauty blender! The pink sponge is more dense. Great sponges and getting all the different shapes give you the opportunity to test and experiment with them without killing your budget.

The more water you keep in the sponge the longer it lasts and the better it cleans, but if you put too much water into it then the water will run down the wall or whatever you are cleaning and make a mess. Any time the sponge feels dry wring it out and put more water in it.

No, not the scrubby ones. They have a sponge that is, but it's just a regular sponge, without a scrubby side.

The yellow part is rubber the black part is hard plastic that holds inner yellow in place. It doesn't add much bulk to the phone and still adds great protection. It holds up well I love mine! Go Steelers!!!!

I have 3 different ones. Can't say that there is any difference in cleaning because most of the differences are just in color or outside asthetics. I use nylon scrubbies and most everything is pretty easy to clean if it is soaked a while.

I am not sure. It is just like the image and there is a sponge included but it is not a good one.

Yes, it is very different from the thin, flat green kitchen scrubie. It is thin with a black mesh on one side and a thin white sponge on the opposite side. I wear rubber gloves and can easily reach down into the bottom of the bowl. I cannot believe how incredible this little sponge is! The black mesh side must have some type of pumice or diamond component to it. All I can say is that it removed the ugly brown streaks from our toilets like nothing I've ever seen. We are on well water and trying to keep the ugly mineral deposits off of the porcelain had been impossible until I got these amazing Shaw's pads. They are absolutely wonderful and don't scratch the porcelain like pumice stones can. Yes, it is very different from the thin, flat green kitchen scrubie.

Black color won't affect how foundation appears.If anything, you can see how much foundation you put on black sponge better than the pink one.

Here on Amazon there appear to be stubbier ones for sale, which I didn't enjoy using in my ULTRA model... the picture here looks like longer sponges that I need for the Ultra... I'm buying them today because they look like the right size.

The orange one is definitely bigger than the yellow. I first thought it was just a color choice and got the orange, but it could barely fit into my drawer. The yellow one works great for lemons and limes.

I think they're both the same as far as I can tell. Both soft with the same amount of sponge.

since it is a sponge fabric, the only difference appears to be color. the color is visible through the mesh sides of the tank.
