A few months ago (beginning of January) I got a 10 gallon starter tank that came with a Whisper PF10 filter, the filter cartridge is looking bad and I want/need to replace it. How do I replace a cartridge without having to recycle my tank (which don't seem to be cycled anyway)? Also I want to get a better filter altogether but this same question comes up about the cycling of the tank. Please help. Also I have many snails in my aquarium and when I change my tank water I use my houses towels to clean up water. It worries me that some snail eggs could get onto my towels and hatch if this is even possible. Is this possible and if so how can I keep it from happening. I have also sucked up many snails with the gravel vac which is a sink to tank, and it worries me that snails could reproduce in my septic tank. Is this possible?
