How do you wash your filter media?
Do you scoop water out of the aquarium and swish the filter media around in the water? Is there another way to do it or is that the only safe way?

Re: How do you wash your filter media?
Getting a bucket of aquarium water and washing the media with that is the typical method. I must admit I don't always do that though. Sometimes I just use tap water with Prime added to it. I haven't encountered any problems doing this but perhaps more experience fish keepers would disagree...

Every couple weeks when I'm doing a water change I just use one of the buckets full of water from the water change to clean my media out with.
