The best Way to clean a filter is not to clean it. In Germany everybody
would say to you, that you should clean the filter, when nearly no more
water is coming out. My Filter has not been cleaned since one and a half
year and the Water is absolutely clean and there is neither Nitrat (NO3)nor
Nitrit (NO2). My Fishes have no illnes, and they look very healthy. A Filter
is the Home of a very manifold mycrofauna. The more different bacteria live
in it, the better is the quality of your Water. With every cleaning of your
Filter, these Fauna is destroyed. Try to clean the Filter less often. It
won´t become more silent, but the owners of your tank will be happier.
