I've had tanks for awhile now, still learning...I've never bought new filter pads for any of the filters... the carbon gets replaced when the tank's moved or something, but not normally.
I've been seeing where people change the filter pads and add fresh carbon, I'm wondering how often and also, why?
with 1/4 tank of lr in 75gl do I even need to worry about the hob filter?
(I had an issue with the fw tank, someone asked how often I rinsed or changed the filter pads, when I said never I was given a very weird/suprised look. I'm guessing if it needs to be done for fw, then it should be done for sw. I've never had a nitrate issue, but I've always kept a very small bio load with a nice amount of inverts (3 fish max in 55gl, none in 75gl).
Currenly in my 75gl is 1/4 tank of lr (no clue amount of lbs) and three stars. Nitrates currently zero, never over 20.
Thanks....
