had to do my monthly cleaning of all the filters in the tank right now and thought id show u guys some bacteria!!
why? i really have no idea i guess i like to share haha

Iewwww, YUK.Dity.
You need to rince those very carefully under tap water!!!lololololol
NO, man, Don't do that ,you know the drill.
I just love those bacteria too.
lol, i cleaned my filters when i started out daily with tapwater because i thought the goo had to be washed of.(blush)

i still remember earlier joining this forum, i told once that you need to
allow your filter media slimy and dirty to make good filtration... one of
the moderator reacted violently... i almost quit then... and i realize why
should i, that is how it works for me.. i have to stand with it.... today
most people understand what i mean during that time

LOL - Noddy I did the same - well not daily, just the once and wiped out about $150 of stock in a little communal I was learning on.
