Patience is a virtue. We are a resource, but not a service.

OK, if you're going to replace your Bio-Bag, you'll want to have something else with lots of surface area in your filter for the bacteria to colonize. If you put a piece of sponge, floss, or the new Bio-Bag in there, wait a week or so, and then replace the old, clogged bag, leaving the other material in the filter for a few weeks for microbial continuity. It is good to rinse the bag gently in tank water when you're doing water changes.

Rudy- Sometimes people that read posts don't know the answer, that could be why noone replied right away. For example, I read your post about an hour after you posted it but I didn't feel like I had the right info to give you to answer your question. We are a resource to come to for advice, but sometimes it takes waiting for a day or so for a responce.

Rudy, if you can't keep it civil, you won't be allowed to post.
