you should have completed the cycling process - with the live rocks, now you can buy my chiller and include all the pipings and works, lights, the electrical works so that you can stock your livestock already. any problems please ask. Good Luck.

roger that.carbon take taken out..how often do i need to replace the filter media inside nxt time huh?sry if its kindna out of topic =x

Carbon - If you use good quality carbon, it should last you about 2 -3 months.

or you can start replacing when your water starts to have a tinge of yellow colour.

cotton - just wash and reuse it when it is dirty or weekly
