I am going to be setting up a new filtration system in my 10 gallon blackwater tank and putting the current sponge filter into a different tank. My question is, since the blackwater tank that the spong filter was in probably had (and maybe still has) a fish with an internal worm problem, is there a period of time that I could leave the sponge filter out of its new tank to make sure I don't pass the worms on to the new tank? Or is this just a bad idea all together? Basically, how long should I leave the sponge filter out to dry before any remaining worms and eggs that could be on it would die? Thanks in advance!
