Fozz Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 hey all i am just wondering how long i should keep an est. filter running with a newbie to allow for the newbie to develope bacteria and establish its self. Thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatoscarlover Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I usually run them for atleast 2 days, if you need it setup ASAP then id let it run for 2-3 days then remove the old one. If you dont need to have the new tank going ASAP then leave it on for about a week and your new filter should be fully established IMO.
