Just Bought A New Filter

[jungleistmassiv]

Hi guys and girls

In one of my tanks (30litre), I have got a fluval 1 filter, that to be honest, is pants. Despite all the cleaning, its flow rate has slowly become a steady trickle. I've bought a new tetratec filter, that I have fitted, and is far better.

Should I leave both filters running in the tank for a couple of weeks in order for the 'good bacteria' to build up in the new filter, or will it be ok to pull the old filter out now?

Thanks in advance

Rich

You should run both for a couple of weeks or put the media from the old filter into the new one if it fits.
