never change the ceramic rings and dont even wash them,<
>they house your bacteria.<
><
>there is a lot of contraversy on what order to have your media in. i prefer to go through the rings first then the course foam then fine foam. i don use carbon after the first month.<

>mate wash your noodles whenever you want in tank water and the bacteria will be fine.<
>i have the media so the water goes through the noodles first then the sponge then some floss then the carbon then back to tank.<
