Posted	carbon filters
20-07-2006 20:21 by lorna	when do i need to add the carbon pad to my juwel filter? should i have one in there all the time? what do they do? how often do i replace them?
20-07-2006 20:52 by kevin george	when u want and it polishes the water making it look cleaner but if u r treating tank with chemicals u must remove carbon or it will remove treatment.change once every 12weeks or it could be less.
20-07-2006 20:56 by lorna	THANX MATE I HAVE TWO NEW ONES. NEVER USED THEM AS I WAS NOT QUITE SHAW WHAT THEY DID
20-07-2006 20:56 by lorna	WHAT HAPPENS IF I LEEVE THEM IN THERE TOO LONG?
20-07-2006 21:00 by robert.pope	Lorna carbon is used to remove chemical elements from your tank .....i believe they only need to be used after medication has been used....i understand that if they are left in the tank for to long then they can leak chem's back into the tank. i don't use them all the time .... i use the pouch but i think the pad's do the same thing it realy polishes the water cristal clear. hope this helps.
20-07-2006 21:02 by robert.pope	if your not treating your tank with any medication why not put 1 pad in and see the difference........save the other for later
20-07-2006 21:02 by lorna	I THORT IT WAS FOR AFTER MEDICATION BUT I NEVER NEW SO I NEVER USED IT.
20-07-2006 21:02 by eddie.t	the best is replace the carbon filter every 4 or 5 weeks when you are to late with replace the filter the will put all the rubbish what is in it back in the tank and that is realy something u realy dont want. read the manuel from you filter. or ask it in you LFS. 12 weeks is far to long
20-07-2006 21:04 by lorna	OK WILL DO.
20-07-2006 21:04 by lorna	JUST DIDNT WANT TO CAUZ NO HARM
20-07-2006 21:05 by robert.pope	i think it removes the medication very fast .......but remember to remove them when treating tank!!!
20-07-2006 21:05 by lorna	I HAVE NO MANUAL FOR IT. ITS A JUWEL JUMBO UNIT. IN A RIO240

20-07-2006 21:12 by lorna	BOTH OF THE FEMALES ARE VERY FAT. THE MALE IS BLOWING BUBBLE'S ALL DAY LONG. BUT NO BABY FISH. SO I DONT REALLY NO.
20-07-2006 21:13 by lorna	THE MALE SEEMS TO BE GETTING VERY AGRESSIVE ASWELL. (STILL FEEDS FROM MY HANDS THO)
20-07-2006 21:15 by lorna	THE FEMALE'S HAVE ONLY BIN IN THERE A WEEK AND ONE WAS PREGNANT FROM ANOTHER MALE BEFORE HAND. TO BE TOTALY HONEST I DONT NO ALL THAT MUCH ABOUT BREEDING GOURAMI'S IM TRYING TO LEARN AT THE MO
20-07-2006 21:23 by robert.pope	lorna ... femal gourami's dont get pregnant by males......they are not like platy/molly or guppies they will get rounded when they are full of eggs........she will then lay eggs in the males bubble nest and he will fertalise the eggs .....
20-07-2006 21:24 by kevin george	everyone has there opinions and r alright in one way or another so do what u feel best

20-07-2006 21:26 by lorna	PLEASE PPL. ANY INFO ON GOURAMI BREEDING WILL BE VERY HELPFULL.
20-07-2006 21:31 by robert.pope	ok well looking in my book it says the eggs hatch in 1 day and the male will look after the babys for a few days also says male will be agressive towards other tank mates when breeding as he wants to defend his terrirory
20-07-2006 21:32 by lorna	HES ONLY AGRESSIVE TO THE FEMALE'S INO YOU SHOULD REMOVE THE FEMALE'S AFTER THEY HAVE LAYED THERE EGG'S BUT HOW DO YOU NO WHEN SHE HAS LAYED THEM?
