Setting up a new freshwater aquarium can be a rather large project and you want to make sure you do it right the first time. If you need help with your fish tank please don't be afraid to ask questions. That's what this fish forum is all about!

Filter Media/Sponge

How often should I be giving it a swish in tank water to dislodge the goobers?

If I scrub my tank walls and algea falls off into the water should I crank the filter and then swish the sponge within a certain amount of time?

I would say once a month...too, you can do it when you're doing a water change and use the siphoned tank water that's in the bucket. You really don't have to swish it inside the tank itself. It's a matter of preference. Just no TAP rinsing

Oh yeah, I was going to swish it in the removed water. Swishing it in the tank would not do me much good, afterall.
