I just rinse until I feel like it’s clean enough!

Lol, I rinsed for about two-three minutes, and the color is lighter than it was. The container says “rinse lightly-“ am I good to throw it in?? Also do you know if chemipure expires

Yeah, I change mine every 2 months or so. Yeah, just throw her on in!

Sweet, thanks! I’ve had the chemipure for a few months, that’s why I was asking. I don’t know how long it was sitting at the pet shop I work at lol

I run mine on my biocube, and every-time I do a water change I rinse it in RO water to get rid of all the nastiness on it. That being said, usually last me 2-3 months before you can just tell they gotta go.

I just threw it in with my filter socks- or do you recommend another spot?

Just rinse to activate the carbon and rid of dust

Thank you. Another dumb question lol, I’ve never used Dr. Tim’s. The ammonium chloride bottle says add 4 drops per us gallon, and my tank is a 90. So would I just add in 360 drops, or tank my sump into account as well?

320- your number is correct but I’m figuring Useable gallons

So just 320 drops of ammonium chloride for the 90 g DT and 20 g sump?

Yes ...... sump will hold half of its volume

Right. Thanks so much.
