Hi everyone...
I had a fairly small goldfish/landscape pond put in last spring. The pond and fish did well all season and survived the winter well. Everything is going smoothly this spring.
I have a Pro-Series Skimmer and with a BioFall filter. How often do I need to rinse/replace the filter matt in the waterfall? If it's a true bio-filter, I'm thinking it should be few and far between though it does need rinsed. Should I worry about using tap water (a hose) to clean it out as the chlorine in the water may kill off any beneficial bacteria in the filter media?
Thanks
Scott
