Filter Cartridges
Is it possible to reuse aquarium filter cartridges?
I have a filter that uses the Top Fin Power Filter 10 cartridge. I noticed that it almost seem made for reuse: has a clip at the top, that allows for opening and removing the carbon. Will it work to dump out the carbon and replace it with new carbon?
Not only is it possible a lot of people hardly ever change the filter cartridges. When I used carbon I would replace old carbon with new, though I stopped using carbon because it is not very effective in the long term. Also there seems to be evidence that carbon can cause health problems in certain fish particularly hole in the head disease.
The main thing the filter does is host bacteria that do most of the water cleaning, just be sure you do not rinse off the filter completely as this will kill off the beneficial bacteria.
