lol, i literaly said that to myself... " go make a sandwich steve, calm down.. deep breathing..."
i feeel better now !
i did on mine, no sense in letting a dirty filter sit around right...just remember....no water changes till ur cycle is complete.some people may disagree but i agree with the knowledgeable around here "only defeats the purpose"....still waiting on mine to finish cycling...about half way there...patience is running a little thin... "step away from the fish tank"(thats what i keep telling myself) that and stay away from the fish store.......lmao
