Hi, I have a 10 gal tank and I read on several sites that say to never change your filter pads. Is this true? I know that alot of good bacteria live in the filter media, so I can see why you wouldn't change them. Also, what if the filter pad gets full of dirt or gets clogged?
One more question about the good bacteria, if you scrape the glass of your tank, will that get rid of good bacteria? I ask because I had diatoms on he side of my newly cycled tank and now it appears slightly cloudy after I cleaned the side with a sponge. Is that just dirt from the diatoms?
Thanks!!!!
