Iāve had this filter on my new tank for about a month and itās clogged twice. I have been told not to replace the filter yet because I havenāt gotten my tank established. So, Iāve been āswishingā it in water I removed from the tank at a cleaning. This last time the filter didnāt unclog and the water is still coming out of the overflow. I purchased a second filter about a week ago so in the future, if necessary, I can change one at a time. However, it hasnāt been on long enough to be useful this time. I donāt know what to do. Iāve been advised to put the old filter media behind the new filter but Iām new to this and I have to clue what filter media is. I will include pictures, but there is a blue plastic piece, a pouch and the carbon goes in the pouch. Two pouches full of carbon will not fit in the filter box. If I empty the old one, and shove it behind the new filter, then arenāt I getting rid of bacteria on the carbon? Any advice on what to do?
