Rinse Aquarium Filter Weekly

I have had aquariums for years. The best way that I have found to make my filters last longer is to take them out and wash them once a week. I use my sink sprayer and wash both sides of the filter. This keeps food residue from piling up on the filter as well as extending the life of the filter.
