Hi
I am currently running a successful 55 gallon corner tank with 6 discus and amazon swords.
The fish are healthy and the water quality is good but due to the site of the tank" near a window" the plants do get covered in algae brown and ruins the look
So I am changing to an external filter with a UV light on it, hopefully killing the algae.
My question is can i just put all the sponges and media from my internal filter into the new one and replace or do i need to run both for a while.
I want to just swap and be done with it tbh
Any advice is greatly appreciated
