C250 sponge questions
First, I can't seem to locate replacement sponges for both sides of the sump--just the large I believe. The sponges in the c250 are 2 different sizes
Second, is there an alternative to using the sponges. Seems they are nitrate factories, and when I remove them, the chamber is still filled with crud. I'm having high nitrate issues, even high day after a water change. Yet I don't want to risk my pumps by removing them totally. Yet what is the difference if there is still stuff in the water below them...
Can I cut them in half so they aren't so deep? That would also give me a spare and allow me to wash and dry a set.
I'd also like to replace the media rack with an acrylic one. Can someone post a link where to buy?
