I have a 10 gallon planted aquarium with a Top Fin 10 HOB filter. The filter has a carbon "packet" and a grey sponge for filtration. Is it necessary to be changing the carbon packet? If so how often?
I have done some research and have had trouble finding an exact answer. Some places I read said not to change the filter media until it is falling apart. Then other places I read stated that carbon filters need to be changed every 3 weeks.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
