I have a 180l juwel vision and use the internal box filter it came with. It’s constantly getting blocked up though so the flow slows to almost nothing every couple of weeks. I used to have a bristlenose (she died ) and I thought it was her waste, but it’s still the same.
It also makes a low hum sometimes which I can’t hear, but it drives hubby mad
So I bought the fluval U4 and I wondering how to do the transition. It holds a LOT less media which worries me
I could chop up some of the old media and make it fit the slide in compartments of the new filter, or remove the compartments altogether and just fill with old media. Or leave both running for a while, or do that but seed the new one.
Whatever I choose, I’ll have to reduce the volume of media at some point, so what’s the best way to do this please?
Thanks
