Filter cartage, or no filter cartage..

Hey guys..

I’ve got a 8 gallon bio cube, and I had a question about the filter cartages. Everything is going fine, but I have a question about the filter cartages..

If I run without a filter cartage(which I do from time to time), what happens to the loose junk when I scrape the glass? I’d go 100% no filter cartage, if I could find another solution to the heavy particles when cleaning off the glass..

I was thinking about running a small powerhead filter in the tank for a few hours.. or using a filter cartage for a day or two… Or even make some kind of simple poly type filter to drop in the back that I can reuse just to collect debits on cleaning day.

I do water changes every week. 1 gallon worth, but with my live rock I have about 6.5 gallons, so I’m turning just over a healthy gallon per week.
