hi
i have a uk 75g tank that run purley on stack of huey hung sponge filters connected to a powerhead.
no ive never had any ammonia problems with this tank and free ammonia is normally between 0.005 and 0.008.
now any one else that runs sponges..... how often do you clean them? As i keep finding that there can be a buildup of mulm and particles on the filter, you know where the sponge goes brown. like with internal powerfilters i would normally clean them as the sponges would clog and slow the flow.
but with the sponge filters i keep finding if i leave the build up it dissapers.... where is it going, are the fish eating it? there is no way that its getting sucked through the sponge as the ppi is too dense.
