I have a filter on the tube that goes to the sump (just a small piece of a filter), then my filter sock, then a filter on the return from the skimmer (Red Sea Prizm. Yeah I know it isn't a highly regarded skimmer. I don't wanna hear it Custom built skimmer coming soon...), and finally another small piece of filter on the return pump.
I just cleaned the filter sock tonight and it was absolutely caked in junk. Is it okay to thoroughly clean it without damaging the biological filter too much?
If you are curious, my most current parameters are:
pH: 8.1
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 20PPM eek1: Getting a bit high)
SG: 1.024
Temp: 79F
