Ideally, you shouldn't be using a sponge. Unless you really want to trap debris. But they have to be cleaned frequently, because otherwise the decaying debris will release a lot of nitrates.
As I described in my DIY thread, I have two compartments only. Only is for the inflow, which I use a couple of sponges to trap the bubbles. The other is the 'fuge with sand, live rock and macroalgae. |

| Is it possible that macroalgae can grow very fast? How long does it take approx to see some growing? |

Macroalgae can grow quite fast, depending on the conditions. I know the caulerpa certainly grew fast in my tank, especially with no skimmer!
Chaetomorpha I'm not as sure about as I've never had it before and just got some. |
