	Filtration - Penn Plax Cascade
azmentl Hobbyist Posts: 61 Kudos: 55 Votes: 11 Registered: 14-Dec-2004	Does anyone use a Penn Plax Cascade? I have one that uses the standard carbon cartridge but also has a quasi-foam insert for bio filtration. Everywhere I look for new replacement cartridges, all I find are the carbon ones. Am I supposed to simply wash out the foam one? Does that kill all the bacteria requiring another cycle? I really don't know what to do. Any advice would be awesome. oh - it's a cascade 300 (for up to 100g tanks and mine is a 46g bowfront)

azmentl Hobbyist Posts: 61 Kudos: 55 Votes: 11 Registered: 14-Dec-2004	wow - that doens't make much sense. It appears that Penn Plax gave the HOB and canister filter the same name - Cascade 300. Mine is the HOB, which I should've mentioned. In any case it's on page 18 of that catalog but that doesn't say anything about cleaning instructions and Penn Plax is a little behind in that they don't post any owner's manuals on their site. I got a few general tips that I'll do my best to employ.
