Hi, in future i will ask people here rather than my LFS.


Well yeah, we don't make money selling you foam. CHANGE the foam?

Uh, I just rinse it. Mine's about 9 years old now. Buy the best
carbon you can.

I have a fluval 404. Does seem to go through spurts where it kicks
lots of bubbles out but all in all very happy with it.


They do that.

So, another question, should I rinse one foam sponge one week and then
the other the following week so as not to go through a mini-cycle?


Nah. There's enough bugs in the water it'll repopulate itself
very very quickly.

Beginners are very scary, aren't they?


Not as scary as ex wives.
