Chemi-pure Elite Question?

I am going to start running chemi-pure elite exclusively in my canister filter. Should I leave the sponges in the canister or take them out?

Why do you want to start using chemi-pure?

^^^What he asked^^^

I used to use Chemipure, and then elite when it came out, but quickly realised that good old BRS carbon does just as good a job at a fraction of the cost.

I have been running GFO and GAC. Just wanted to try something that people have had a lot of success with. They claim crystal clear water and less algae problems. I have had a lot of diatom bloom and wanted to see if this would help.
