hOW TO CARE FOR ThE FILTER MEDIA
IMPORTANT: Do not replace all filtration media at the same time. Alternate foam
changes so that some older ones remain in use. This ensures the re-seeding
of beneficial bacteria, so that colonies discarded with older media will be
replaced by vigorous new ones. To enhance bacterial action, pour a dose of
Nutrafin Cycle, a Biological Aquarium Supplement onto your filter media each
time you change it.
