I finally broke down and bought an Amazon.com special canister filter that is more than large enough for my 75 gallon tank. It looks and works great, but I’m needing some advice.
How long should I wait for that filter to establish before I remove both of my HOBs?
There isn’t much surface area for beneficial bacteria in the two HOBs which is why I’m finally getting a canister filter. Once it was set up and running, I took my HOBs and squeezed out the foam pads right next to the intake of the canister filter so that the mulm was sucked up into the canister. I figured This would seed the filter and speed up my process. Thoughts? Further questions?
