I want to replace the carbon / zeolite filter in my … This will affect the water balance?
I mean, the balance will be the impact on the biological balance of the aquarium. I feel the carbon / zeolite should be changed because it has been long since been in the filter. thanks in advance for any response.
Hello, It depends on what the filter is launched. You (hopefully) 3 types. Mechanical filtration: This is the "block or a sponge that catches pieces free floating debris. Chemical Filtration: What is carbon or zeolite as you mentioned that removes impurities and heavy metals and ammonia. Seepage biological is where the benefits of food bacteria convert ammonia and nitrite will grow. Biological filtration will be in the form of a skimmer combo (CPR Bakpak, etc.) or a biotechnology conference, or any other means that provides the flow of water and a place for bacteria to build a house. This may be even a foam pad or of a separate dwelling in / on the filter of his hanging. This is one of the instructions tell you not clean. I recommend quickly to changes in its activated carbon and zeolite at least monthly. Carbon will help give the water are clear and the toxins and heavy metals. Contrary to popular belief, the activated carbon is not remove ammonia. The zeolite is what causes the ammonia water. These pebbles (carbon and zeolite) are themselves essentially a sponge. It is a toxin and ammonia, because they may contain. Once they meet they stop working. In some cases, can even "download" what they have caught their water again. This can be catastrophic, especially in a smaller system. So, yes. Change. And it will not affect the biological balance, because they are chemical filters. However, I ensure that the filter you use has a kind of biological filter as I described above. This filter you want to leave him alone. As a kind of pad / sponge / unit wheel is in the system and stays there for reasons of biological filtration will take a reserve of happiness and success! Good luck and happy fish keeping _Ryan_
