return pump has a foam/sponge filter on it
the return pump has a filter on it to stop debris from returning to the display tank. is this ok or should it be removed?

I prefer using a filter on my return pump so as to avoid pieces of chaeto and other debris from getting into the display. I haven't notice any ill effects yet, but suspect it may decrease pods from getting into the display (if you're using a refugium).

i guess that's the issue is it stops pods etc from entering--is this good or not so good?

Speaking of it I remove mine the other day, you need to clean them very often or dont bother keeping it. I litteraly was squezing mine forever to get green gunk and other **** out of it. it was decreasing flow rate and leaving the surface aquarium water dirty. I removed mine its only a trap for nitrates. As far as the return pump keep it it helps with microbubles just clean it often because they will get dirty.

totally agree with nmhs2. if you choose to keep it on, keep it clean - frequently
