I had this thing leftover when I switched over from fresh water and hooked it up.
I have it setup with a couple filter pads, and a media bag filled with carbon and gfo.
Either way, at this point, I think the pads can go as my water is pretty clean and I have a good cuc.
I know people say these filters are nitrate factories but after a few weeks of no cleaning, still undetectable nitrates with an api test.
Should I just remove this all together and add a couple media tumblers or let it keep going like it is? I am sumpless and running a hob skimmer if that matters.
