Aquarium Advice Addict
I have been running an Aqueon and an aquaclear on my tank. I've been running the aquaclear for 2 weeks, and the Aqueon for about a year. Can I take out the Aqueon now and just run my aquaclear?
It's seeded but just beware, you will have a mini cycle. There is just enough bacteria on both of the filters combined to consume the ammonia and nitrites being produced by the tank. The best way to do it is to stick the old filter pad inside the new filter. It should fit in there without too much difficulty or at the very least you can cut it up and use it.
I would expect it to last from a few days to a week; probably not any longer than that.
Yes you'll be good as long as you have the old media in the new filter
