New to the forum so hi everyone.

Just a quick one i have just got my first external pump for my tank and was wondering how often do you clean filters? Only ever had internal in my jewel and cleaned that every time i changed water. Thanks
 
Hi welcome to the forum.
Every month is fine unless your tank is overstocked.
Also make sure you wash the media in tank water and NOT tap water. (not sure how long you have been keeping fish, so you might know this) :good:
