You can reuse the sponge but you may get a cycle next time drop the filter in your sump it will be seeded for the next use
Thanks cryptix! The netting at HD was for birds. I didn't go that route because the holes were larger than the egg crate which I already have. I think the BRS kit is the way to go. Love your stocking plan. I'm at the point where I need to add to mine again. I had a pair of clowns. They were fun to watch. Will definitely add more
