I will soon be going from a HOB filter to a canister filter, and I am just wondering how to make the change. Should I run them both for a while, or just go cold turkey?
 
Your new filter will have no bacteria in it. Run the canister alongside the old filter for a couple of weeks, and if practical, put the media from the HOB into the canister.

I don't know if the sleeve will fit in with the rest of the media in the canister. I haven't recieved the new filter yet (buying it off someone from the buy/sell forum). It will probably be easier to run both at the same time.
