Filter maintenance. How regular do you do it?

Is it ok to clean all your media at the same time or does this disrupt the biological filtration process?

As long as you're cleaning in tank water from the same tank then there's no issue. Your thinking is right though, if you're running a dual filter setup and ever have to do anything that will negatively impact the bacteria in one filter, it's always better to leave as long a gap as possible before doing the other filter.
