I have a 20 gallon tank that I have transfered my fish form a 10 gallon "storage tank" (I recently moved and couldn't bring a great deal of water with me) I have transfered over my filter, some gravel, and about 70% of the water out of the 10 gallon. I really need to change my filter media (I already changed my carbon because it was WAY too old) How long should I wait before changing at least one of my other pieces of media?
 
why do you "really need to change your media"? do you mean the filter floss is clogged with debris? if so, just rise it out with lukewarm water and re-insert. unless you have something in your water that will kill the bacteria, they should be just fine with a rinsing. Kyle
