Hi,
Question on filters - I recently bought one of the Wal-Mart starter kits (10 gallon, power filter, etc.). The filter uses a replaceable sponge filter with charcoal inside it. I've seen posts on here about the good bacteria growing on/in the sponge. The filter manual says to replace the filter media every month or so.
Is there a conflict here ? Will replacing it remove a large portion of my bacteria ?
Thanks - love this forum !!!
