    PWC Fish out or fish in?

    fill a bucket up with water and treat the bucket, saves prime and no untreated water ever hits your aquarium, no "dead" spots possible where the prime hasnt mixed in your tank where you add it tap to tank

    Temporary solution while filter isn't working?

    wrap the media around an air stone turning it into a sponge filter! will keep the bacteria oxygenated and fresh flow of water.

    stocking my 10 gal beginner tank

    NKOTB - The Right Stuff???

    No the filter media i.e the sponge can be left till it is falling apart. The carbon has a life of roughly a month.
