How Long Should I Leave My Internal Filter Running ......

[Sp00ky]

i installed the new external filter yesterday and i can tell the diff all ready. the water is crystal clear !

however, i knew that it wouldnt be up to speed with the nice friendly bacteria yet, so i was wondering how long i have to leave my fluval 4 running in unison with the external before i can remove it?

Cheers

I did the same thing and left it for a week, everything was fine

I'd say two weeks just to be on the safe side.
