Hi so my fish have ich. I poured in the ich . Although I had to open the filter cartridge and remove the activated carbon from their, there are still a few pellets of activated carbon in the filter cartridge, is that fine or will it affect my medicine.
 
Carbon will the active chemicals in your medication. A few grains will absorb a tiny amount. Carbon has limited capacity to absorb things, so after 2 or 3 weeks in your tank it is probably exhausted, so unless it is new carbon it probably is already used up and now wont be anything.
 
Yea I don’t know if I’d be worried about a couple little bits. Like Aiken said, if it’s been in there for any length of time it’s likely “used up”
