	Aging New Filter
Bob Wesolowski Mega Fish Posts: 1379 Kudos: 1462 Registered: 14-Oct-2004	How long do you feel that it will take to seed a new AC500 filter if I add it to an existing tank? The tank currently has two ilters providing bio and mechanical filtration for a number of months. __________ "To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research." researched from Steven Wright

Bob Wesolowski Mega Fish Posts: 1379 Kudos: 1462 Registered: 14-Oct-2004	Interesting replies. In general, the concensus is two weeks but the longer the better... Filter is on its second week and I will let it go for three weeks as it will be secondary filtration for the tank. __________ "To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research." researched from Steven Wright
