Considering buying a canister filter. It would be used to periodically polish the water to remove particulate matter that doesn't get picked up by existing filtration. I'd fill it with coarse and low micron filter pads.
My thinking is that during weekly water changes I could throw this thing on directly in my display for an hour and it would help me keep consistently crystal clear water without having to way filter socks every 3days. Would this work?
Thing I don't know is if the canister media can be used for an hour at a time then left dry in a closet for a week and repeated. I could replace filter media every month or so or whenever it gets really dirty.
Any thoughts are appreciated!
