Filter Media

Important!

 

Always use water from your fish tank to clean 

your filter media. Do not use mains water or any cleaning 
products to clean your media.

When cleaning filter media, 

NEVER

 rinse with tap water or 

use any soap or detergent, only your aquarium water. The 
best time to rinse your filter media is when doing a 10 / 
20% water change as you can use this water to wash the 
media through. 

When replacing media in your filter, do not replace more 
than 50% of your media at once. This is to ensure that the 
nitrifying bacteria present in the old media are able to 
repopulate in the newly added filter media.
