Hey everyone!
So on YouTube I saw someone with my filter (Interpret Internal filter CF2) and they took out the filter pads it came with and added their own foam, bio media, carbon foam etc! I want to do this method which will save money in the long run rather than buying the replacement pads! But my question is, how do I introduce the new pimped filter without crashing my ecosystem? All the good bacteria will be in my old pads and bio media right? So taking it all out I’m worried will rock the boat and cause my cycle to crash! Any advice!
Thank you!
