Quick question here about the fluval canisters...
Is removing and replacing the foam sponges all at once a bad idea???.. What kida of role does the foams other then remove debris.. would it up set any benifitial bactera
in my canisters, i have in the bottom chamber, EHEIMEC, second chamber Fluval charcoal, and in the last two top chambers i have EHEI Bio.. I only rinse the chambers that have the EHEI MEC and the EHEI Bio Media in the tank water.. am i ok with changing the foams all at once????
 
You can remove all the foams and replace them with new ones. I have done that before with no problems.

Just don't clean all your filters at one time so you leave enough good bacteria in the tank.
