Yes? No? I've heard conflicting answers.
 
Keep some on hand as was mentioned for meds but stick to sponges as a filter material. It has worked for the past 2 years for me.
 
Thank you, that's what i needed to know.
 
And sponges have worked as well for me, but more like 20 years. I also keep a sealed jar of carbon on hand, in case I get tannin coloration from driftwood - which weakens my already weak lighting.
