You are correct that they will start to have beneficial bacteria on them but
you should not be concerned about it. In comparision to your main filtration
(live rock etc.) it is a non-event. Wash them in the sink.

Hey All
On my recently set up 55 reef, I installed 2 Zoo Med Power Sweeps...one at
each end of the tank, timed( after much effort) to hit in the middle of the
tank for another little burst of wave action. I really like them, but when I
first set them up, I used them without the adapter sponges that fit around
the intake pipe...and as they are very sensitive to any dirt sand particles
or even some Nori that get sucks up ...they tend to clog easily, so I put
the sponge sleeves on the intake pipe. Now my question is this. stupid
probably...but here goes...as these sponges are becoming pretty well coated
with food particles, fish pooh...and such...they need to be cleaned...but do
I just slip them off, scrub them off in fresh water...or do they contain now
some beneficial fauna and/or bacteria...that should be rinsed off in the
main tank itself and then put reinstalled. I mean are they becoming mini
nitrate factories...or is there to much water movement through them , thus
making them not likely to become anaerobic (sp)...hum...any help would
greatly be appreciated here.
TIA
Respectfully
Geno
