Hey everyone,

 

I am going on a vacation for about 2.5 weeks.   I typically do this every summer and haven't had a problem yet but I was wondering if you all keep your filter floss in the tank when you're gone if no one is there to change it?   Or should I forgo the floss.    My thoughts are that if the floss gets all crummy and is left in there it may cause more problems than good.   I am just looking for best practice here.  

 

Thank you as always.

Out and then when you get back use a turkey baster to blow out the back chambers to get any debris that went back there and use filter floss to catch it when it recirculates.

good advice! and after that, definitely change again after a day or two
