I'm currently running a Fluval 406 with stock sponge in bottem tray followed by bio max ceramic rings in all other media trays, my top tray is one half bio max and chemi pure elite. As a secondary filtration unit I added a sponge filter with air pump, my problem as of lately is my Male Flowerhorn seems to be nipping away at the sponge filter. If I remove the sponge filter is it possible I would expect a bacterial bloom and/or ammonia spike? Or would my 406 be able to handle things accordingly. Any options or suggestions are all welcome.
