Hi Everyone,

Did a tank swap and moved over old bioballs, rock and a week old filter floss.

The tank is now 24hrs in, when should I pitch the old floss??

You should replace the floss at your normal replacement intervals. It is only used for mechanical filter. Your biological filter is the bioballs. Replacing the floss will not cause a problem in fact, it will help to keep nitrates in check.
