Read About Choosing Tank Cleaning Needs

Every filter system will need a thorough cleaning eventually, and the proper cleaning supplies will help you do the best job.

Things to Consider:

Wait to clean -- After you clean your entire aquarium, it is beneficial to hold off on cleaning your filter, since it still holds many of the good bacteria that your plants and other items in the tank will need.

Monthly -- Ideally, filters should be cleaned on a monthly basis to maintain a healthy tank.
