Why use oasis? Why not use a sponge?

Cigar Smoker's FAQ
The many holes in oasis material mean a greater effective surface area. This means a smaller humidifier is able to do the same work as a larger one using other materials. Natural sponges are much more prone to contamination and should not be used. Good quality synthetic sponges are a reasonable alternative IMHO (although your credo might need to be a little larger than if you used oasis).

When should I use a sponge filter?

Frequently Asked Cichlid Questions
Sponge filters are great for filtering tanks containing baby fish. Not only can they easily handle the waste the baby fish produce, but sponge filters actually have many microorganisms growing on them that little fish graze upon between feedings. They also won't suck up your baby fish like a power filter will. Sponge filters are also great if you own a large number of aquariums.

Why an oasis?

FAQs About The Training Oasis, Inc., Toronto, Accelerated Le...
When people think of a desert, they typically picture flat terrain, stretching for miles. Deserts are actually rugged environments with towering dunes, sand storms, and extreme temperatures. In the desert, one can travel for miles upon miles without seeing any sign of growth. Jeeps race up and down desert sand dunes in roller coaster fashion. If they don't, it's easy to get stuck and end up spinning your wheels. This is a perfect description of the business environment during the past few years.

Is it possible to use a sponge cake rather than a rich fruit cake?

Answers to your sugarcraft and cake decorating questions
Almost certainly. The only thing to be aware of is if the sponge is very light e.g. fatless sponge, the combined weight of sugarpaste and marzipan, can compress the cake resulting in a misshapen finish. Replace the marzipan with buttercream. If the cake is to be tiered remember to dowel the cake properly.* It sounds as if the filling you are using is too soft and the weight of the icing is forcing it to bulge out at the sides. This can also happen if too much filling is used.

Water alone can contain hormones. Dairy products and farmed fish have added hormones and antibiotics. Antibiotics to control yeast and acne also stress the body.
