Just a curious question: When do most of you change your filter material?
I just got finished with a 25% water change in the seahorse tank. Whenever I do water changes, I usually let the filters sit for 6-12 hours.....usually the next day, in fact...... before I change out the filter floss. My thoughts behind this have to do with the particulates that usually get stirred up in a water change -- I figure the old filter can catch that excess material for a few hours before I change it out and replace it with fresh floss.
Filter material usually gets rinsed every couple days, and changed weekly. How about you?
