Activated carbon will pull medication out of the water, so remove the cartridge, or swap in a media-free insert, before and during any medicated treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I rinse it instead of replacing it?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can rinse it in old tank water to extend its life, but the activated carbon is exhausted well before the sponge and mesh wear out — for carbon polishing, replacement still beats rinsing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ZooMed","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55293331013923,"sku":"ZM422A","price":19.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/files\/zoo-med-turtle-betta-filter-46120696971555.webp?v=1790240280","url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/zoo-med-turtle-betta-filter-cartridge-medium","provider":"Nicks AOT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
