Quick filter cleaning question.
(Sorry to dump this in beginner area, I could swear there was a cleaning/maintenance subforum but I can't find it on the app.)
I have a 10 gal tank that's been set up since March (cycled since April) with an aqueon filter. I am going to change my filter cartridge for the first time today (I'll save the floss from the old one and stuff it in the side).
Should I wipe all the slime down that's accumulated on the filter? The intake tube, the main body. Etc? I won't do anything to the blue pieces (where they claI'm BB live). But what about everything else? Any advantage/disadvantage?
Thanks!
