Ira 59 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livingart 453 Report post 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
