Im getting ready to clean my filter and tank right now. Im kinda freaked out about killing off the good bacteria in the filter so should I take a bucket of aquarium water and rinse everything out with that or is my tap water in oregon ok? Also I am planning on doing a BIG water change What level is it safe to take the water down to without streesing the fish. Really just any advice or do nots will help, Ill start tearing it all down and keep checking for responses.
Thanks
