getting AC sponge super clean

[bbortko]

First thing cut the sponge in half lengthwise and then stack the two halves one on top the other in the filter. Same amount of sponge but alot easier to clean. I clean my sponges in hot tap water, always have. I rinse the biomax in tank water. I intend for the BB to colonate the biomax not the sponge. Have tested and never seen any sort of mini cycle while doing this.

Same here, except for the cutting in half trick(one day I'll remember to try that one)

I keep extra AC sponges on hand for my filters and run the dirty ones through the washing machine with warm water on gentle cycle. These aren't the only filters on the tank so I have had no issues with mini cycles on the tanks.

Nice idea first time I heard of this

thanks for all the ideals, may cut one in half, that seem cools; sit the biomax and purigen on the other side with whatever i can stuff in there, lol

I rinse my Biomax in tank water. The sponges I just wash outside with the hose. A nozzle on the hose can really help get the sponge super clean.
