Im actually not that careful with my bio media. I do rinse it in tank water but with canisters, I dump all the bio media in a bucket with tank water and roll it around with my hands. BUT, I have more than one filter on every tank, and I never clean both filters at the same time. I will loose some bacteria doing this but have never had any type of mini cycle or anything like that.
