## Questions & Answers

**Q: It's my first time, Do I replace both at the same time or will it cause my tank to go through a mini cycle? Are useful bacteria colonising in these?**
A: No, only change one and after two weeks change the other one, don't change the foam pads just rinse them out with aquarium water . Yes good bacteria is in the pads

**Q: Do I have to remove these cartridges from the filter before using medication treatment?**
A: Some treatments advise the removal of Carbon used as a filter media simply because it will absorb the treatment from the water before it can do any good.  The filter should run okay to keep the water circulating without the cartridge fitted. A good reason to read up on treatments before use.

**Q: Does this help reduce nitrates?**
A: No. It is just a poly fiber filter for particulates, and a carbon filter for organics.

**Q: As you replace the filter, it’s sponge then the filter.  It the carbon of the white side uppermost. Very confused.**
A: Yes, sponge then the filter. Filter - black side on the outside.  Hope it helps 😊
