I recently found out you have to wash your filter media so it sat for 6 months. I washed in a bucket of aquarium water for a few minutes but it is still very green and so is the water. How thorough does the washing need to be?
There is a small tear, will that hurt the water quality?Ghelfaire said:As long as it's not falling apart it's fine. It'll never be 100% clean.

You can also replace the cartridge with bio balls or a ceramic ball alternative, make sure to cycle with the cartridge to avoid losing beneficial bacteria.
