Hello everyone.
I have a 220 litre tank with an Aqua one CF1000 external canister filter. (based on the general rule of thumb) it cycles 100 litres per hour. My usual routine is every Saturday I do a 20% water change while cleaning my sand substrate, but I only clean out the filter once a month.
I notice by week 2-3 their is quite a bit of "stuff" floating around the water. My questions are as follows:-
What do you recommend as an extra internal filter to boost filtration?
Should I clean the filter out more often?
Should I also disconnect the pipes and the spray bars and clean them?
I look forward to all your replies.
Regards
Stephen Brown
