How oft should I clean out sponge filters?

I know how to clean out my sponge (in tank water, etc.), merely when is the correct time to do so? When the flow is starting to get less? Monthly? Quarterly?

Is this a sponge filter? If yep then I clean mine with every water change so nearly once a week.
Wow, that's a lot. Mine are dual sponge filtes x two. And then that would be four sponges a week per tank. Not sure if that's doable in my case. Is there a reason yous clean out every calendar week?

It'southward just easier for me to clean the sponge filter out in one-time tank water at the same time I am cleaning my tank. Also that fashion I don't forget to practice it and wait as well long.

I know how to make clean out my sponge (in tank water, etc.), but when is the right fourth dimension to practice then? When the menstruation is starting to get less? Monthly? Quarterly?
I clean mine every month. They don't get that dirty since its mainly for bio and does a weak job at mechanical.

I think it depends on what you have in your tank and the size of the sponge. If it's a big sponge with a low bioload then you won't need to be every bit diligent as if you had the opposite situation.

I like to proceed them free of debris then leaner have more space and more than oxygen. That'southward probably science I fabricated upward in my head but I concur with the post above that it's easier to think if I do information technology regularly and I already take dingy water.

I make clean my sponge filter every two weeks, they don't really become dirty from what I've seen or maybe a slight browning after a long time

Really? Mine turn the water black when I squeeze them in the saucepan!

Aquaphobia: mine too! I rinse my sponge in muddy tank h2o nigh every week, sometimes every two weeks. Information technology's a "gentle" rinse, not thorough (I hateful, I don't go the sponge actually "clean"), just enough to go the heavy gunk out.
