How can you use a floss filter to your advantage?

Most people place the filter floss next to the intake so that the water passes through the floss first. It is used for mechanical filtration only. You can wash it in tap water.



Do you require filter floss?

To prevent the buildup of debris, filter floss must be changed frequently. It can also catch microscopic particles, which are responsible for cloudy waters. Clear aquarium water can be expected in 3 to 4 days. Filter floss works better than sponges in mechanical filtration.

The same goes for floss filters. When should they be changed? Allow your tank to tell you when to change the filter floss. If nutrients are stable or fall below zero, replace the filter floss every five to seven days. Continue testing for four to six weeks. You can bump up the replacement schedule to once per week if the nutrients do not change.

What is the best filter floss in this context?

The WORLD'S BEST FILTER FLOSS: A secret inTank invention, a super high-quality double-bonded poly pad that is unlike any other available. This FilterFloss captures debris and allows for maximum flow. You will use less poly filters because they are thinner than others.

How can I change my aquarium's filter without losing any bacteria?

The cloth-like floss can be cut off the filter cartridge, and stuffed into the new filter. The filter floss contains most of the beneficial bacteria. You can also run both filters together over a period. After one month, you can remove the filter. I think I will just use both filters together.
