hello all again
well i have a question and i hope someone on here has a good answer....
on my return pump (magna 950) i have a sponge filter that is over the inlet, this sponge is 3" x 5" x 8"
would this be a possible cause to my hair algea problem?
iv noticed many a critters living in it and would it be better to just let it be unprotected?
all other perams are where they need to be (and i do check everything)
some test are twice weekly others once a week
