OK, let's make sure I've got this straight. I can unclip the bag and it is
actually an open ended bag so basically all I have to do is dump out the old
contents and add new carbon, then re-clip it all together? If so, too easy,
I shouldn't be complaining!

If it is a Whisper biobag you are talking about, Yes. I can't remember
the rest of this thread, I think it began on the night when my brain
wanted sleep and I wanted to keep typing. But we established that you
should not be cleaning your filter or changing medium during cycling.
Right? Right. When you are changing the contents of the biobag, you
can swirl the maybe dirty bag around in some used aquarium water to
rinse off the heavy stuff, if there is any, but don't try to get it
too clean and don't rinse it with chlorinated water. Warm. Not cold or
hot. And don't lose that little clip.
