Humblefish Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Just a little heads up everyone. In addition to the carbon, remove the entire filter cartridge when dosing meds in your QT: The filter pads are made from polyfiber which will remove medications from the water (including Chloroquine phosphate). You may also notice some slight copper absorption. I confirmed this today after speaking with Marineland. If you want something in the chamber to trap dirt and debris, I recommend buying filter foam and cutting it to size: P.S. The bio-wheel itself is safe/medication friendly. 2 Quote Link to comment
Tamberav Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Interesting, is that different from poly-fill? Seems they sell poly-fill but also stuff labeled as poly-filter. Quote Link to comment
Clown79 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 The cartridges would remove meds as it usually has carbon in between the plastic housing and poly Quote Link to comment

Also, being a poly filter it will remove phosphates which breaks the chemical bond of Chloroquine phosphate. If you never changed the pad (just rinsed it out) then eventually it would absorb all the medication it could and be a non-factor. But who knows how long that takes? Quote Link to comment
