2. Put the filter on the aquarium and fix it on one side.
3. Ensure that the filter is placed in a suitable position.

It should be noted that most of the filter materials in chemical filtration, such as water softening resin, grass mud balls, etc., must be used with corresponding testing instruments to better control the water quality, so as not to over-adjust. Not suitable for 24-hour long-term use. Therefore, for general customers, this level can be omitted. Of course, different fish tank filters are used in slightly different ways. Therefore, specific operations should be carried out according to the specific situation.

Do I need to change the water in my fish tank after using the filter?
Of course, after having a filter, the fish tank still needs to be changed. The filter only slows down the time of changing the water, because the quality of the circulating water will become worse and worse, so it is necessary to replace part of the old water regularly and add new water, 1/4 is enough. However, if the fish tank is large, the density of the fish is low, and the water does not look dirty, you don’t need to change it so frequently, but once every two weeks to a month is enough, but the filter cotton should be cleaned frequently.
