Also,
Think rallysman, if it's cycled it's working...
It will take alot longer to cycle being in the sump, but who's in a hurry.
Good idea. Make it so...

yea, I meant it may not be enough to make a big difference lol.... It will help even if it is on a small scale. I am becoming more and more fond of sponge filters.
I feel the same way. I gave them up for a few years but when I got back into breeding Africans I started using them and never looked back. A small tank (30 gallons or less) can be stocked from a cold start with a mature sponge filter.

Your good to go
I have been using them in holding and hospital tanks for years which started quite by accident (necessity) when I needed to start a 20g hospital tank quickly and it worked so well I've used them ever since.
Keep us posted (& pix).

Sure its a great idea and like rally said the sponge is ready to start a new tank at any time.Good for quarantine tank for new fish or for unexpected fry
