[Killietalk] sponges

["Mike Jacobs" <mjacobs2 at tampabay_rr.com>]

Folks . . . I'm with Big John!  I use sponges for EVERYTHING.  I have 4 big
tanks (55, 55, 65,65) and they all have sponge filters in them.  They all
have 2 of the larger Hydro-sponge filters.  They are about the size of
putting your 2 fists together.  It's not a matter of bragging or how
everyone should do it . . . it's just how I do it . . . all sponges with
30-50% water changes a week!  Piece of cake!

 

The only time I use a power filter anymore is for tank shows where the tank
must be perfectly clear 100% of the time for the judges and the public!  If
a particular tank gets "overcrowded" somehow then I'll take a power head and
put a sponge on it . . . so easy it's crazy.  I have never seen a tank so
crowded that a power head with a sponge won't fix everything. 

 

Big John, my friend . . . hope you are better!  I missed you at the AKA
convention this year! 

 

Mike
