Cleaning AIO filter area

[Nick Steele]

Okay so how often do most people clean their all in one back compartments? I’ve been doing once every 2-3 months but just recently noticed a big bloom of pineapple sponges that are starting to restrict my flow. So just curious what most people do.

About once a year for me. Mine‘s got all sorts of stuff growing and accumulating back there. My rear chambers are very crowded and it’s not easy to take it all out for cleaning so it doesn’t get done as much as it should.
