Those of you who have been answering my other questions--thanks!!! Except for the water aeration one. Haha you bunch of 5th graders! :mrgreen:
Anyway, I have to ask some really dumb filter questions. On my Whisper filter there is a black drop in piece and disposable white pads. What part are you guys referring to as a biological filter? Also, so what you guys are telling me is I should take out the black part and the pads and just let it run to help circulate the water? Or keep changing the white pads weekly and just cleaning the black part?
I know this sounds goofy, but I haven't quite learned all the terminology yet and I am so scared of goofing up my tank--again. Thanks!!! Also my nitrates are still a little high so I want to do whatever will help with that.
