THANK YOU for saying this. It seems lately everyone is so worried and soft with their tanks. Most bacteria is in the gravel anyways
If no one has said it lately, thanks
I have a 40, a 55 and a 125 in my living room when I clean the filters I rinse them out in my sink and have never had a single issue
Hey, changing the filter shouldn't be a problem at all 😊.
Plus the other thing you're gravel or sand and all your rocks and decorations have bacteria on it been doing aquariums for over 40 years never had a problem with it and I used to change both filters at the same time
I do my filters..my glass the next wee ..my gravel/sand the week after n then decorations on some months the a week of rest lol..never had a problem n its been yeats since i had any disease n i never use chemicals in my tanks..maybe an almomd keaf for the betta tanks
