Perfect. I'll just take out the top tubes and leave the bottom. I've read about the beneficial bacteria, no need to mess with that.Yeah, that would be messy. No need to remove it. There is beneficial bacteria in that gravel that you will mess up if you remove it so just leave it. Over tank filters are super easy to maintain. Pretty much, just change the cartridge once a month. When you go to start it, it just plugs in and starts, no power button. Just make sure to put some water in the filter, so it doesn't run dry for the few seconds it takes to start up
Perfect! That sounds easy. I'll pick one up next week at my local store, and use that. It will be easier if I get it there since I will also be able to get replacement cartridges.
