HI,
I put a used, seasoned charcoal filter in a plastic bag and put it in
the fridge to keep the biological filter going. How long can I keep it
in the fridge? this technique worked very well for my move, but I only
stored them for less than a week in the fridge.

I'm setting up a 30g for my angel fish pair, they are NOT getting enough
to eat with the piggey rainbows gobbling up all the food. It's kinda
funny/sad to watch: the angels are poised to eat the blood worm but
before they get close enough to get a bite, a bow zooms in and
literally takes it out of their mouth. So the angels get the brine
shrimp and flake food that the bows turn their noses up at.

Thanks in advance for the advice.
BTW, got my ANGFA newsletter yesterday! Looks good!
