Do you ever replace the sponges?
I ask this question because it seems like the performance of my filters has decreased significantly over the past two years. I have repeatedly rinsed out my sponges for the past two years with tank water and they are not falling apart but are discolored a bit. My filters just dont seem to pick up debris like they use to, so could it be time to replace the sponges?
With my AC110 HOB filter it seems like I have to replace the sponge every now and then because it just starts to fall apart and rot away. I have not seen this happen yet with the FX5 but I wonder if I replaced the sponges if I would see a difference. Any thoughts from you guys?
