Do you guys do this? Is it ok if you don't. My tank is 21" deep, so to get a good water change I got at least 8in. But the problem is that my two hob filters ( marineland penguin 200 and 100) tend to cut off once I go past 3-3.5" so I turn them off and then turn the back on when the tank fills back up. Only thing is when I do this all the stuff in the filter come flooding out and it's like my water change was for nothing, so I wanted to know what others here do.
