Sponge in Overflow

[member 99594]

Hey all,

Just wondering if it would be OK to remove all the sponge in the overflow? Or will I cause issues by pulling it?

I don't think that there would be any issue with pulling it out. If you can't get your hand in there, maybe try using an algae scraper to detach it. Best of luck!

May I ask why would you want to? Sponges are great filter feeders.

I might have read this wrong. Is it live sponges or foam sponge? Can't tell from pic

I am afraid it will spread to my pipes and clogged them.

I’ll have to look into that. Why is the difference? One good one bad kinsa thing?
