Hey Guys,
Just a quick question a 2ft tropical tank with couple gouramis and 3 glass catfish and some peppermint brittle nose catfish. I have a Otto filter 600L/H i have one filter pad in it and i was wondering they have been in their about 18months now and have done wonders for my tank since i purchased that filter i have not lost a fish, no problems everything seems to be going well. Just starting to notice that the filter pad is becoming harder and harder to clean in the tank water with my weekly water change. Can you possible replace the filter pad and if so how would you go about it without affecting the bacteria cycle and thus possible harm to the fish. Is there a way to pro long the life of the filter pad if not how often should you replace the filter pad to ensure the quality of water for the fish and long term stability of the tank?
Any help would be great thanks guys
