I change my carbon...Kent Marine Reef Carbon, every 2 wks. This is very important for me because I have hard and soft corals, (leathers included). I also run poly filters to help with any chemical warfare. These are changed out monthly.
ut oh.. i havent changed my carbon yet.. this is about 3/4 of a year.. lol
everything is fine tho.. so i havent been asking.. should i change it now? cus y fis it if nothing is broken.. plus im afraid tht if i change it now. my tank will be a mess im going to have it tale it out then unplug it..
one other thing i thought was if u take out the old cartridge u loose all the bacteria and tht would do no good cus it would take away the purpose of cycling ur tank..?
but is it a filter cratridge? just brand name?
what are poly filters.
Thanx in advance.

I would change the carbon, after 2 to 4 weeks it gets "full". It looses the ability to hold on to all that nasty stuff it pulled out of the tank, and will eventually begin realeasing all of it back into the water. I dont belive it holds much if any good bacteria, thats what ceramic rings are for.
