e30 gangsta said:I have a aqueon quiet flow 10, that hangs on the edge of the tank. Its not a intank filter. I added the sand then added the water and let it settle before turning the filter and stuff on. Should I change the carbon filter to get any of the sand that is stuck in it out? Or should I just leave it since there is BB on there.
I also have HOB (hang on back) filters. I don't have internal. That's good u didn't have on until sand settled.
Did your filter ever dry out from when you cleaned the tank? If your filter dried out that killed any BB that was on it. It's ok to gently rinse filter in water you take from tank during your PWC. Never rinse in tap.
Only gently rinse in old water as needed until your BB. Is well established.
