How To Clean Your Fitler Media

[fatheadminnow]

Well, as it seems like there has been multiple questions lately about how to clean your filter media, I thought the next time I cleaned mine I would just video tape it so all the beginners out there will know how to do it!

Sorry, I am not that good on camera...lol...

Nice vid there FHM. You are perfectly fine on camera.

great video

Wish my filter was like that actually. Mine is basically plastic type fabric stretched over a hard plastic backing with charcoal smooshed in between...I hate it. Its hard to clean because it can't be squeezed out, just swished around.

You're paying your dues Lioness. Someday when you get a nice big external cannister you're going to truly appreciate it!

Thanks guys for all of you positive replies!

I know the lighting was not the best.

I had my ceiling light on and a lamp on, so I was trying...lol.

I was using a pretty crappy camera too, so that might have been a contributing factor, I don't know.

Other than that, thanks a lot guys for your replies!

I hope this thread will help out beginners!

EDIT: The wallpaper I had that there since I was a little guy; not really my taste anymore...lol...

Very nice FHM!

I wish I could clean all my media in one go like that . I use a 5gal bucket on 55gal tank and it takes almost a entire 50% water change to clean my filter. Every bucket I dump is just as black as your's was.

Thank you guys! I am glad you like it, and I hope it helps out beginners with cleaning their filter media.
