Instructions
Open your filtration system canister following the instructions as outlined in your user manual. Typically, access involves disconnecting the unit from the hoses leading to your aquarium and unlatching the top of the canister.
Remove the mechanical, biological, chemical or other filter media--foam, sleeve, cartridge and/or biological balls and ceramic rings--and/or plastic filtration trays (if applicable) from your Marineland canister system. Then, place in a large clean basin or sink.
Fill a water pitcher with water from your aquarium.
Rinse the filters and/or trays with the aquarium water to dislodge sediment, particles and other build-up.
Reassemble your Marineland canister filtration system.
