Fluval Foam consider Sponge Filtration?

[alvin]

Sorry if that question sounds dumb, but I'm going to be setting up a Quarantine tank, and I was wondering if I could just take out one of the MSF Foam that has been in my Fluval 405 canister filter, to place in my HOB filter to act as a "seed". I have quite a few of the MSF Foam stuff, but am not sure if Foam = Sponge.
Ok thanks in advanced.

yes

Sure. Get a few extra sponges for your HOB (remove carbon, if needed); keep one in your main system and put in your Qt when needed, its not only seeded, its cycled. Toss them when done, they're cheap.
