Just wondering how oftern do you clean your ext filters
I understand you do not clean the media that much
But what about the fine pads at the top?
The reason i am asking is my new 6x2x2 set up has been running for about 2 weeks now just wondering when i should do a service

Would that be ok on abrand new set up?
I was just thinking that with a new setup maybe there would have been a lot more fine stuff in the water IE from the substrate

they are a low maintenance filter for a reason, not saying that it would hurt to clean out more often but i don't personnaly see the point.
when i set up a new filter on a tank i don't touch it till i know the filter is working
