Jayba Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Depends what type. The ones big Al's sells are a harder type of sponge that my plecos keep spotless. The API ones I squish out every month or so. That's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Znaika Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 When it looks dirty and contains non-negligible amount of rotting matter. Otherwise I try to keep those bacteria colonies thriving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
