do I really need the sponge filters in the 1 and 5 slots of my jbj 28 gallon nanocube? I am talking about the ones that are about 1/4" x 2.5" x 8" long and sit in the side chambers by the pumps. They don't really seem to catch anything and I am afraid they are just becoming nitrate factory's for me. P.S iam battling high nitrates, 6-8ppm. I currently have a skimmer in the number 3 spot so I don't have the factory basket.
