Done with this treatment, again...

Now the waterchages more and see how long before male gets them back..grrrrr

SO how long do I leave the carbon in before replacing it with the media?

Thx

Actually there's no real need to''remove'' QC. The Malachite Green breaks down within 12 hours or so and the formalin is expended on the organics within 24 hours...this is why there is a 24 hour repeat on the chem and at least a 3 day treatment period.

So you can pull the AC anytime or just leave it if you're finished the dosing protocol
