I guess I could just change the floss instead of cleaning it.


Thoughts on exposing filters to light?

You still will have organics in tank you should change it weekly or remove it.
When it comes to light I don't think it would me matter either way. If you have no light the organics break free into nutrients. With light it grow algae removing nutrients.
