Here are my stupid questions.
I removed the filters and added the ick clear. I will throw out the filters but what about the permanent carbons? How do I sanitize them? The filter is Whisper® Advanced PF 30-60(http

Also, how often do I add the med until the ick clears? Do I do a partial water change in 2 -3 days and then add more med if needed?
I have turned up the heater slightly, I don't know why the temp dropped. It was a steady 77-78 and then this morning I see it had dropped to 72-74. The heater is a Tetra Submersible Heater for 30 - 60 gallon aquariums.
