Thanks for your suggestions but unfortunately they have nothing to do with the problem.

If you read my original message, the problem is not airflow thru the lift tube or the weighted base, which is obviously required to weight down the sponge filter. The problem was Paleatus catfish swimming down the tube against the airflow and getting stuck in the tube. I have since removed the tubes which has not affected the filtration and has solved the problem.
