Boredomb

I am going to order my plants tomorrow gotta go get some fishing line to anchor a piece of driftwood that refuse to sink will go and look for some floss I took out the chemical base media out along with the carbon pad when I first got the filter was trying to figure out what to use to fill the empty space.

the medias no problem just rinse it every two months or so and youll be in good shape:)

what a nice filter right??

EDIT: actually depending on your bioload and aquarium size the maintenance can vary. Good luck!

I do have a stupid question about the maintenance ? U say every two months or so depending on the bioload well how can u tell when it is time it clean it? When the pads are full of crap or is by that point too late and u should have already cleaned it before then? LoL sorry noobie here

Pads will be full of crap. Cleaning depends on user, but I would clean it after a month then judge if you think it can run longer till the next cleaning. My rena makes black water when I clean it lol.
