I have a 2 gallon moon jellyfish aquarium by JellyFishArt. The stock aquarium has a piece of foam in the back compartment that is the only biological filtration (see photo). At times, I will do large water changes (70% or 100%) with water with pricesely matched salinit and temp.
What are tips for cleaning this foam wihtout killing the nitritfying bacteria?
How long can the foam be out of the water before the bacteria start to die?
Can you wring out the foam to get the food, waste, etc. out of it without damaging bacteria?
I also have bag of matric in mine as extra filtration that I understand can be wrinsed in tap water without damaging the bacteria OR left out of the water for 60 seconds or so with no problem.
Thanks, Doug
