How To Take Care Of The Filter In Your Aquarium

How do I take care of the filter in my aquarium?

The filter itself you'll never change, but the media that goes into the filter has to be changed on a regular basis depending on the type of filter that you have. When you want to change filter medium, you're going to probably replace carbon or any kind of carbon filter pad or cross filter pad roughly every four weeks. That's going to depend on what kind of waste load you have, how many fish you have, what you feed, how much you feed, and how often you do water changes to get that waste out of there. You may change it more frequently, or slightly less frequently, but a good average is about every four weeks.
