I am so glad I found this sight. You have already answered so many questions I had, but I have another one. I have an undergravel filter in my 20 gal tank. It has tubes on either end of the tank and each one has an airstone at the bottom and a charcoal pack at the top. The tank has been set up for about four weeks now. The guy at the LFS told me that I should change the charcoal packs about once a month. I know it takes about 6 weeks for the tank to fully cycle. Should I go ahead and at least change one of the charcoal packs now, or should Iwait until the six weeks are up. I am doing regular water changes, about 20% every three days and I have rinsed off the charcoal in tank water several times. I have 6 zebra danios, a betta, a pleco, and an apple snail in the tank right now. Thanks in advance!!
