I have an AquaClear 30gal (max) filter for my 10g. I have 2 female guppies and a few ghost shrimp as the stock. The instructions included with my filter tells me I should replace the corse sponge every month, the carbon every 2 months, and the BB bag every 3.
Does anyone actually do that? I normally swish out solids out my sponge when I do water changes, but I'm curious about the BB and carbon. If I get new bags of each, will it pull my tank into something like a mini cycle? Or will it be okay?
