How often do you guys replace the sponges and media in your fx4 and 6s? I was cleaning mine today and was wondering if I’m going to have to replace them at some point or if I just consistently clean them they’ll last for a while.

Some sponge types will last for years.I never owned a FX4 or FX6 but quite sure sponge is similar to most.
I personally would change out only if I noticed it physically getting soft and degrading.
Thank you. I haven’t noticed it deteriorating yet.I never owned a FX4 or FX6 but quite sure sponge is similar to most.

Thank you for the info I hope mine last that long. If they do end up failing any ideas on where I could get new ones?My fx6 sponges date from 2017, when I purchased a tank including the filter, as used for two years. I have not noticed any deterioration in the sponges during that time (7 years with me + possibly 2 more). I have some original Aquaclear 110 sponges (also by Fluval), which are several years old, but have had to replace several.
