Also how often should I be changing the cartridge? By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

I generally try to have all my tanks filtered 7-10X's/hour, so with a 20 gallon run a 150gph filter minimum. Of course it'll also depend on how you stock the tank. So long as you don't overstock that filter will be enough. The carbon, if used, in the cartridge should be replaced once a month. The floss or sponge should be rinsed in used tank water to remove any clogging debris but to preserve the bacteria. ^_^ Current [link=Contest Rules]http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/forums/Aquascaping/44382.html?200412022138" style="COLOR: #EB4288[/link][/font]
