was wanting to know how often do i need to clean out the bioballs, ceramics and filter sponges in the back of my nano?

have been doing the sponges about 3 weeks to once a month the others probably once every 3 months.?

any help/advice would be appreciated.

Clean the sponges weekly or replace them with filter floss and throw the used piece away weekly. Most people do away with the ceramic rings and bio balls replacing them with live rock rubble and or chaeto. Personally I dont have any rubble in the back of mine. I just have enough rock in the main display to do the job with chaeto, purigen and chemipure in the back chambers. I assume you are doing water changes of 10% weekly.
