Hi,

I have a 40 gallon tank that has had no fish in it for 3 months. I am now going to start up another tank.

I have all the filter media still.. Can I clean my old nitrate/ bio sponges in boiling water and use them again or should I go and buy brand new ones?

I have 1 green nitrate sponge and 3 blue bio sponges (2 fine,1 corse)

I know you can usually wash them and out them back bu for a new tank im not sure?

Thanks for the help
 
You can get new ones if you want. If something was in your tank before or something other than natural causes caused your old fish to die, I would get new ones. But it is the bacteria in the bio sponges that keep the tank regulated chemically.
Good luck
