Hello,
I upgraded from a canister system to the new Red Sea Reefer 350 2 months ago. To help prevent a harsh cycle I took all of the media from the old fluval and put it in the refuge section of my sump. My question is, how long are these sponges beneficial? I assume they would start causing issues after a while. Once I can remove them I am doing live sand Cheato and a light in the refuge.
30lbs of rock from the old tank came over and 30 lbs of new live rock installed when I set it up. Am I ok to get rid of the sponges and set up my refuge?
