I'm currently at the second stage of a fishless cycle on my 55 gallon. Ammonia is converting within 12 hours at this point, just waiting for nitrites to start going down. I've noticed twice today that my canister (Fluval 305) was working very loud for a while and the flow is decreased, so I'm wondering if there is a buildup of gunk inside that is obstructing the flow. Would it be a good idea to open it up and rinse the media in tank water, or am I risking disturbing all the new bacteria?
