JoshStover Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 I’ve always used the bag trick on my sponge filters since I first heard Cory mention it. I forgot it today and my tank shows. lol 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a YouTube video Cory shows how to "bag" the sponge under water and lift it out which keeps the mulm in the bag. You gently lift the sponge and work the bag under it with your other hand, then lift out. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel C Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 FYI..... "Bag" = big clear Ziploc bag. Great idea, it works well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.K.Luterman Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Honestly I always forget to use a bag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChemBob Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I usually make more of a mess trying to get a bag around the sponge than just slowly pulling it out. I make a mess, but I've given up on the bag. I figure more mulm for my plants at this point. 😅 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben_RF Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I just count it as added fertilizers if I forget 🙂 Plants sure do love mulm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streetwise Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I love seeing that folks on the forum value mulm like I do! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 I keep the bag in the bucket I use to carry around the end of the Python to prevent drips on the carpet. my shrimp and I like some mulm, but not that much dumped all at once😉. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
