[AquaticLife] Removing carbon from Penguin filter cartridge
I’m not sure why everyone’s making this complicated…to remove the carbon from my cartridges, I just gently pull the blue floss away from the plastic frame where it’s glued at the top and shake it out. If done dry, it comes out easily. When wet, it’s a little messier and I always end up rinsing it to get it all. I don’t worry about the bacteria, I figure the bio wheel(s) have enough to keep things going. This method leaves the pocket intact so that loose media or a bag of whatever can be inserted…
I think we should start a letter writing campaign…Marineland used to sell a plastic frame that clamped around and supported whatever material you wanted to use. I still have a couple in use from a very old filter… I guess the marketing department clued in that mega-profit could be made on replacement media, much more than than on the original purchase price…
