Cleaning filter media properly and restoring good bacteria?
Posted: Thu Jul 19, 2007 8:37 am
I have been cleaning the filter-pads by spraying with a water hose about once every 10-14 days, and there usually seems to be 10-20% of the bottom pad starting to get caked-up with sludge (and good bacteria I'm sure) – should I clean it more often?
Should I continue cleaning all the filter media at once (both pads and my bio-blox bag)?
Should I add beneficial bacteria to my pond each time I clean the filter?
