HI. just finished my fish i cycle on my 20 gallon tank yay!!!
So, to do this I bought an angels plus filter, cut it up in pieces and put some in behind my existing filter stuff. I had extra and couldn't fit it in there, so I put it in a filter media bag and have it just hanging in the tank kinda infront of the water flow. it is now all brown and yucky looking (like it should be I guess)
so here is the question. I want to get rid of the bag (obviously - it doesn't look nice) but I don't want to send my tank back into cycling. how do I get rid of this extra stuff and get the tank to handle everything with just the HOB filter.
should I take out small pieces at a time until it is all gone? and how long between each removal to not recyle my tank?
thanks for everyone's help!!
