Hey guys,

It's getting to be near time to switch my activated carbon bag for my 12g Nanocube. Currently, the carbon in there is the bag that came with the tank. I bought some new stuff from the LFS, along with two filter bags to hold it. Should I keep two smaller bags in there at once - and offset it so I replace one bag at a time so as to not be throwing huge load of carbon in there each replacement? Or should I just put all of it in one bag and go with that? And one last question - for this 12g size tank, about how much carbon should I have in there?

Thanks!
