Hey People,
I was wondering what you guys clean your filter with i usually try to do it with aquarium water(because i heard its the best to keep the filter bacteria alive.) but after the first sponges its so dirty i am thinking is it still beneficial to do so ? it looks like black water
i have attached a picture of the bucket with dirty water from the first 2 sponges, so you guys can see what i mean. i usually clean the filter every month, but i had to do it now quicker because i took out all the bags with volcanic rocks that i had underneath the soil because i couldnt plant deep enough anymore.
