laferme Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I have a canister filter, was wondering the procedure on how often the bio pellets should be changed? Thank you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T. Payne Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I would never change the bio media. Just give it a rinsing if needed when cleaning the filter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minanora Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Agreed. Often I do not even rinse mine, unless they're looking super mulmy. I take the whole tray and just shake out it in a bucket of the water I dumped out of the canister filter. There's usually shrimp living in mine so I always use tank water. Lol.

The pre-filtering also makes it so you have to clean the canister itself a little less because no big leaves and stuff will go in and clog the canister. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Which one do you have? I want to go ahead and look up how it's setup so I can offer some advice if need be. 🙂 Also, welcome to the forums!

Flumpweesel Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I haven't replaced the ceramic media that came with my fluval 10 years ago, I just swish it when I clean the sponges. I only replaced some of the sponges last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
