If it works I guess don't mess with it. Most filters I've had always get some build up in them that requires cleaning. My only canister was a fx5 and that was full of poop when I would open it, and not just in the sponges but everywhere.

I truely believe disruptions to the water column is stressful to the fish. Any fish.
My filter really isn't a filter but more of a reactor/processor. I try to achieve certain bacteria within. Both good and bad ones.
The medias do not need to be replaced. They are self cleaning (thin film). There is other media inside that limits oxygen creating the bad bacteria that I need. Hence, the chamber cannot be opened or washed.

If my memory is accurate, you were a big contributor to a thread that discussed ultimas and wlim wave filters. I run low tech ac110s. My hope is that on my next tank upgrade I will go with something that requires minimal maintenance (no sponges to clean or filters socks potentially). Love my drip that has eliminated manual w/c but want to take it to the next level.
Keep sharing is all I can suggest.
You can lead a fish to water but you can't make it swim.
smh...moe, you need to drive to Hartford to learn a little about innovation and technology from Pratt. Check out their GTF. Take it to the next level.
Hey I was 14 lmao and it's not my fault my lfs didn't have any better filters than what I've got. But it's worked for me through the years never a issue
14??? With your knowledge in fish I thought you were a lot older. Sorry if I offended you.
