  1. Howdy, I have a Fluval G3 filtration unit on my Fluval M60 (25 gallon tank). it has a filter cartridge that is to be cleaned every 30 days. I have had the unit for 18 weeks and have cleaned the filter about every 25 days. I have one small fish and I dont feed much, so there is not a big bio load, nor do I have algae problems. The question I have is that the g-nodes look really dirty. i was surprised at how dirty they were (please see picture). I have struggled with high Nitrates (40ppm) even before I had the G3 filter, but I really expected the G3's Nitrate cartridge to reduce or eliminate the Nitrates in coordination with a Phosban 150 running Katalyst denitrator pellets, but this has not been the case. i recently reduced the depth of my sand bed as well, its about 1/4 inch at this time. Does anyone else have one of these G3 or G6 units and did your g-nodes look like this at any point?
