Habitat - Indoor :: Filter Bag

[julie373]

I have a whisper filter. How often should I change the bag inside?

[Tenodera]

about every two weeks.

It depends on the media, power of the filter, size of the turtle and amount of water you have.

Every two weeks is a bit extreme. Instead try to replace the bags atleast once a month...

I and another person on this board have gone months without changing ours and the water quality was still in A+ conditions. Though we both use a lot of live plants, and i personally use items like stress zyme and have found it to help keep things clean, that and I test my water regularly so I know what's going on in my water - everyone should test their water. If you dont test your water it's best to just change the bags every now and then.

Thanks. =) It's been pretty clean, so I know I don't have to change it right at this moment, I guess when things start to get a little dirty I will change the bag.
