I am going to need to change my filter sponge soon. It's an aquaclear 500. Questions is, I know I am NOT suppose to just drop in a new one since the old one has all the 'good' bacteria in it. How do I go about changing my sponge then? Please help. Thank you all, Richie

Hello all, I was doing a water change today with the GF. She wanted to clean the filter sponge in the sink. I yelled at her and told her she was nuts and not to use tap water. I read that tap water will kill all the good bacteria. So my question is, what is the proper way to clean the filter...
