[AquaticLife] Replacing internal filter
As I told Mike, the sponge is cheap and simple, doesn’t even have a brand on it. But I just cut it into a 3/4 inch piece and sucked through it, the air passed but not very easily, plus, it smelled funny, so I’m thinking that it may actually contain the chemicals you both mentioned.
Will do the polyster filling into the carbon container. I’ll use a piece from my old filter “which is still running in the tank along with the new once since 2 days”, to give the cycling thing a kick.
As for running UGF and internal filter togeather, I tried it yesterday, and it was bothering to the fish, and the plants were also “dancing”, it didn’t seem good for them, a few stems were even pulled out of the gravel. that didn’t happen when I runned only one filter each time. ( I usually run the UGF twice aday, about 1-2 hours each time, but sometimes get too busy to remember switching the two filters). Do you think I should simply shut the UGF down forever, or do I really need it in my overstocked tank?
Thanks for the advise guys
