SRC Member Danieltwx Posted January 11, 2018 SRC Member Share Posted January 11, 2018 Hi fellow reefers, I’m new to this hobby! Would require some advise. I’m currently running a new canister filter for my tank for 2 weeks. Just wondering when I’m doing maintenance for the canister filter’s biological media, am I able to use rodi water to rinse the media? Will it kill or affect the beneficial bacteria in it? Or do I have to make a salt mix to wash the biological media? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member bsjz Posted January 11, 2018 SRC Member Share Posted January 11, 2018 Why would you wash the media if its only 2 weeks old? Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member bsjz Posted January 11, 2018 SRC Member Share Posted January 11, 2018 If you want to wash it just do it during a water change and use your tank water to wash itSent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
