fast question about cleaing when moving.

fast question i will be moving everything to a new bigger tank.

should i clean out my filter. or do not clean it at all.


or can i just clean the pumps and leave the bio balls alone.

 

I would clean your bio balls becuase you are suppose to was them once a month anyways.

 

really ooo would it cause a spike in anything

 

No cause your the bio-balls are suppose to remove nitrates. just put them in a strainer for like noodles and shake them around as you rinse them off then dump them back in.

 

cool thanks leighton1245 i will be doing this next week

 

sweet good luck im sure everything will be okay but if you have a disaster and need a hand let me know I have extra equipment and just right down the road.

 

i would only clean a quarter of the bio balls at a time... the bio balls contain alot of your bacteria your tank needs, and if u clean them all removing all your bacteria then it can def cause your tank to spike, until your tank builds up enough bacteria again to handle your bio load..

 

Very nice thanks for correcting I would hate to steer someone wrong.

 

not a problem...

 

sweet always happy to have others help thanks for the both of you
