That's more accurate

which if left uncleaned frequently, will reduce water quality, thus having a negative affect on its inhabitants. whereas if cleaned properly and frequently as needed will reduce its ability to be used as an effective biofilter. hence reducing it to a wter pump that needs constant attenion. do i sound smarter now?

Bingo. Best bang for the buck when it comes to bio filtration IMO

I recently throw out my bio tower and placed 4 spong filters in the sump.

that sounds like it will turn into a nitrate pump unless cleaned constantly. which will do no good for BB. unless you run a foam prefiler on the inlet.

Sorry...I was not referring to the six white foam pads on the periphery of the media baskets, only pads which you may have inserted into the three central chambers.
