hi guys.. newbie here...sorry if i'm in the wrong thread but just like to get some advise..
when i bought my eheim2215 canister, and is running for almost 2 months now, the other day i did a thorough cleaning by opening the cannister head, and planing of rinsing the medias inside, thats when i found out it consist only of 5 layers of blue pads and 1 layer of white pad, which i think i did not notice the 1st time i used it,
anyway, i was able to find eheim "efimech" and Substrat pro". my question are:
- should i just put the new medias in the canister and let it run again?
- would it affect the filtration?
- would it do any harm to my discus?
BTW i forgot to mention that i still have another HOB running in the 40gal tank w/ 7 juvies
sorry for the long post..
thanks guys
