I have recently started a 24gal aquapod and still have the stock foam filters and bio balls in them.
My question is how and how often should i clean the foam filters? do i need to clean them in salt water? tap water? Maybe water removed from the tank for a water change? I am not to sure what to do here? help me out.
on another note, should i dump the aqua balls and the foam filter and replace them with Live Rock rubble? will the LR rubble work if there isn't any light in the filter area?
I currently have about 20# of live rock in the tank, (i will add more as i get coral and see the right cured rocks!) 2 fish, a starfish and a coral banded shrimp along with a cuc of 3 turbo snails and 3 hermit crabs. I think i need to double my CUC.
Thanks for you help!
