I noticed that the bottom of the base of my ATI Hydro sponge filter is rusting. I'm guessing the coating was scratched by some gravel... Has anyone experienced this before? I assume the rust isn't great for my fish. Occasionally I'll notice some of my fish scratching/flashing, but they seem ok otherwise. Let me know if you have any advice. Thanks!

yeh
get it out of there
get a new one
not worth the risk
...I have a similar product, probably better
xLrg only $13

as far as the scratching goes
change half the water
clean the gravel
add salt, 2 teaspoons per gallon max
