not sure on that one...many dish scrubbers have anit-bacterial agents on them...These scrubbers should be avoided (they will kill off bacteria that your tank needs to survive)

the dish scrubbers are fine if they are the plastic ones and dont have anything added. I use them on my freshwater tank in my canister filter. It is ok to put a thermometer in the sump, just be warned that your return pump can suck it in and break it. My eheim 1262 broke a glass thermometer in my sump, the only reason i knew was because my water level in my sump was rising and my pump was really loud
