Its published guidance for the equivalent carbon media in the Bioscape Carbon Extraction Pad is to replace roughly every 4 weeks — once carbon is exhausted it stops adsorbing and just sits there as inert mechanical media. Use that as a starting point, and replace sooner if flow through the filter drops noticeably or the water starts to yellow or smell again between changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSuitable for, and not suitable for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for:\u003c\/strong\u003e the Bioscape Velocity 1500 internal filter (BIS163), in freshwater and marine tanks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNot suitable for:\u003c\/strong\u003e any other Velocity size or any other filter brand — the cartridges are moulded specifically to the Velocity 1500 housing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCovered by your consumer guarantee rights under Australian Consumer Law if it arrives faulty or not as described.
