I am planning to use the fishless cycling method in my new tank. I watched Dr. Tim's video on youtube, and it seems very straight forward, but there is one thing I am not sure about. He says to remove the "filter socks" while cycling. Does that mean take all the filtering material out of your filter? I would think you would want to leave in the biological filter material. Does he mean just remove the mechanical filter material?
Also, how did this method work for those of you who have used it?
Thanks for your help.
