Aquarium Advice FINatic
Jmedic25 said:You have been lucky!!!! Never change filter media until its falling apart. Then put the new one in with the old one so the BB clings to the new one..For a few days at least. Just wash them out in aquarium water. Remove the soild waste thats it. Also you may try adding some biomedia like sechem matrix not the black carbon stuff but the grey stuff. You can put in in a nylon bag and hang it in your filter. You dont have to change it out ever. Also you can get bioballs
Yes, I'm not thinking straight, a lot going on in my mind with this, I agree, I never just COMPLETELY change them out!! I use bioballs as well...
