Cleaning Bio Filter
Guys
I haven’t cleaned my Bio Filter in months. Pond is in pretty much perfect condition so I don’t want to upset the cart. Should I just leave it alone or clean it?
First tank has large Bio media no air
Second two tanks have small bio media and are constantly turned over using air
Last tank is a settling tank that is half filled with a netting (no Air) and this overflows back into my pond

You should clean whatever gets dirty. If your filter isn't getting dirty then the mechanical side (physically catching the crap) isn't working.
2660 Gallons. 4" Bottom Drain and Skimmer. Draco Solum 16 Drum. Anoxic Filtration. Air lift returns.

Hi Dave
What I have is a air line at the bottom of the first tank ( non moving bio filter) the media is about 1 inch round.
I can stop the bio filter pump and turn the air on to get all the non moving media moving. Then open the drain line and let the dirty water out……… it looks pretty dirty when I’ve done this in the past, I’ll then fill that tank back up and repeat it again a few times until the water is somewhat clean. Then put everything back to normal and start filtering again.
The Draco drum is the best thing I’ve ever bought for my pond.
Thanks Neil
