You can just attach the filter to the powerhead, walk away & let it do it's thing for however long you need. Of course need to check on the filter media from time to time as well, depending on level of contamination.

My cheap alternitive to that is just buy a bulk. Pack. Of aquaclear hob filter foam, cut ahole in it for the powerhead intake, and let. It clean away. Rinse and reset as needed. I have no other mechanical filtration on my tank so. I have used this for the occasional whoops..
