My canister filters maintenance directions are kind of vague. How and how often should I change media. There are 2 floss, 1 carbon, 1 sponge. Heavily stocked 55 gallon.

But, you can swish the filter pads or floss in old tank water (from siphoning out in a bucket). By doing that, it saves the bacteria.
