If yes, how long should i wash it? Any tips how to wash the sponge filter? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Take out some tank water Remove a sponge Squeeze the sponge in the used tank water until cleanish Replace sponge Never do all sponges at once. If you are determined to be super clean and do one a week (I'm not that good,) that allows 3-4 wks for the cleaned sponge to recolonize.

JamesHe Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 You can use RO water as well. I wish my canister media that way. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
