Aquarium Advice Regular
Greetings,
I have a 36gal bow front that has been running 8 months or so the stock HOB filter does a good enough job but the cartridge is pretty much end of life. I want to change it because it is falling apart but the problem is I am leaving on vacation in 2 weeks. I will have someone watching the fish but am not sure if they are proficient enough to run water tests/changes. Will 10 or so days be enough to get the replaced cartridge established enough or should i try to get the original to hold together another month?
Also should I change any dosing of flourish/excel and the like while I am gone?
Thanks
