Hey, so I just realized something that I probably should have thought of a long time ago. I never rinse the bio-wheels on my HOB's. I mean never. I rinse all my other bio media in tank water whenever it looks like its got a good build up of sludge on it, but I have never rinsed the bio-wheels in my HOB's which have been running for quite some time. I guess I should rinse them too huh? Anyone out there never rinse them? Do they get all clogged up if you dont rinse them?
Also, anyone with emp 400's - the water that runs through the spray bar that pushes the bi0-wheels comes straight from the tank, it doesnt go through the filter first, right? If so, which I think is the case, I think Im going to put some pre-filter media on the intake to do some mech filtration before it hits the bio-wheel. Anyone do this already?
