I just got a new canister filter last week (yeah!). In order to keep my beneficial bacteria I'm still running my HOB with my canister. If it makes any difference, the canister is a Fluval 206 and the HOB Is an Aquaclear 50. How long should I run both to get a good colony of BB going in the canister?
I have a 29 gallon tank and keep it at 76 F. My tank is well planted and has about a 55% bio load according to Aqadvisor. My parameters are ammo 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 5, and pH 7.8.
