Ira Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 SHouldn't you reverse the order of the sponges and filter wool? THe filter wool would clog up in a day or two while the sponges would still be nice and clean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted October 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Yes normally but the sponges are quite an open cell so using them more for housing bacteria 6 medium sized Long neck turtles in there and filter wool has lasted a week so far.
