As many know I set up my 350 in February with a 2262. I had done a lot of research on filteration because I wanted canister filters. Along with that research I read that a lot did not clean these filters from 6 months - year.
I just broke it open for the first time since setting it up and I will now be doing it every 2-3 month's. The filter was so dirty that I was disappointed in myself for it going this far. Although I was going on what I've read because I had never used it in my 30+ years in the hobby, I feel I should've known better.
Why this post you might ask yourself? Well I just wanted to help those other fish keepers that might be thinking about or just got this filter. 6+ months for an average stocked tanked is just to long in my opinion. I will definitely be getting another in the next few months because it is a workhorse, however cleaning it way more often.
