I am still in the stage of cycling my tank.. Someone suggested I clean my filter out.. I have a Fluval 304..
My media is carbon and ceramic rolls.. Is this ok for my tank.. or will it create mote nitrate?
Thanks.. from the beginner..

It is ok...rinse the cermic in saltwater so as to preserve the bacteria...as for the carbon...just replace it.

Yes make sure if you clean it to use a fresh batch of salt water. If you use regular water all the bacteria will die. I don't think you should clean your filter until after your cycle is complete.
