Keep your filters clear! If you have plants in your biofilter or near your skimmer, ensure the roots aren’t clogging the filter media. Aquatic plants thrive in the heat and grow rapidly this time of year.

To manage aquatic plants in your biofilter or skimmer, trim the roots periodically. A good rule of thumb is to do this each time you empty your skimmer basket, which should be done once a week.
