In regards to my last post and your reply I want to make sure we are talking about the same thing. I do not mean the entire filter I mean the object that slides into the filter that looks cottony with carbon inside of it. Is this the thing you are talking about that does not need to be replaced? Should I just leave it in there even though it says to replace every month?
As for adding ammonia, I haven't added any because my readings were still kind of high. Today it is about a 2. Should I add? If so, how much. My nitrite is still at 0 and nitrate between 5 and 10. Does that sound right? Why isn't the ammonia dropping quicker?
Thanks again for all of your help. I will be so happy when I can finally have our fish swimming in there!
