Good afternoon everyone, I was wondering if I could ask for some views on cleaning Eheim 2217 filters.
I have two Eheim 2217 filters for a 455 litre tank, running for 3 1/2 months. I change 30%water once a week but have yet to touch the filters.
Water parameters are good and water flow is good, so a little unsure if I need to rinse filter or not.
I was thinking of cleaning one filter and then the other at one monthly intervals from now, obviously in fish tank water.
My main question is: As water parameters and flow from spray bars are both good, am I creating unnecessary work for myself?
Any comments would be appreciated
Regards Nigel
