Sooo.
Ok, so, I bought some cartridges for my filter. But I got to thinking.....and then got to worrying. So I already changed the old ones with the new ones. But I was wondering since the bacteria grows on the cartridges/sponge part, when you removed it and put new ones in, wouldn't it cause the bacteria level(s) to drop? And isn't that bad? I heard some where that you should only take one out at a time, is this true? I didn't think of that when I did the change, so it 2 new ones in there right now.
Anyone got any ideas? Thanks! -Seth
