Hello all,
I just want to know, what is the frequency I should change my filtrer cartridge (or if I have to change it). I have my 10 gallon tank running for over a month now, and all my fish seems ok.

Thanks for yar help!

You have only one cartrige in the filter? If you remove the cartrige, you can lose a lot of bacteria.

SO, the best way would to have two, and alternate. Or, another media to hold bacteria would also be a plus placed in your filter with floss wrapped around it.

But I had the extras in my whispers, so I would just chuck it when it overflowed, or was slow.

I wouldn't ever in my whisper clean the filters the same day I chucked the cartrige either. *thumbsupsmiley*
