So I have the all in one 5gallon eve. How do you know when it’s time to change the charcoal pouch ? And to clean the black sponge filter.


I know it’s probably a crazy question.

Weekly with your water change for the sponge. 1 time per month for charcoal.

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
